Morton Manuel Avigdor, Brooklyn, N.Y., for appellant.
In a proceeding pursuant to Mental Hygiene Law article 81 to appoint a guardian forthe personal needs and property management of Rose G., an alleged incapacitatedperson, in which Vincent G. cross-petitioned to be appointed as the guardian, Vincent G.appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (King, J.), dated February 15,2013, which, after a hearing, granted the motion of Roberto Lopez, the temporaryguardian of the alleged incapacitated person, for permission to relocate the allegedincapacitated person.
Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
It is the obligation of the appellant to assemble a proper record on appeal (seeCPLR 5525 [a]; Hazell v Stateof New York, 81 AD3d 893, 893 [2011]; Matison v County of Nassau,290 AD2d 494, 495 [2002]). The failure to provide necessary transcripts inhibits thisCourt's ability to render an informed decision on the merits of an appeal (see Matter of Leichter-Kessler vKessler, 117 AD3d 825, 826 [2014]).
Here, the appellant failed to include, in the record on appeal, a copy of the transcriptof the hearing that was held before the Supreme Court in connection with the motion ofthe temporary guardian of the alleged incapacitated person for permission to relocate thealleged incapacitated person. Since the record is inadequate for this Court to render aninformed decision on the issues raised by the appellant, the appeal must be dismissed (see Smith v Imagery Media,LLC, 95 AD3d 1204 [2012]; Hazell v State of New York, 81 AD3d at893). Dickerson, J.P., Leventhal, Austin and Hinds-Radix, JJ., concur.
