Accordingly, in the absence of opposition, the application is granted and letters of administration shall issue to the Public Administrator limited in the manner requested. Submit decree.

IN THE MATTER OF THE GUARDIANSHIP OF ANDY E.S., Pursuant to SCPA Article 17-A (19-1153) — This is a proceeding pursuant to Article 17-A of the Surrogate’s Court Procedure Act for the appointment of the petitioner as guardian of the person of the respondent, an alleged intellectually disabled person. Upon the oral and documentary proof adduced at the hearing at which the proposed guardian appeared and the court waived the appearance of the respondent, based upon the medical certifications, it appears to the satisfaction of the court that the respondent is an intellectually disabled person within the provisions of Article 17-A of the SCPA and that he lacks the capacity to make health care decisions. The court is further satisfied that the petitioner, proposed standby guardian, and the first alternate standby are qualified to assume the responsibility of serving as the respondent’s guardians. Accordingly, the application is granted. Letters of guardianship of the person of the respondent shall issue to Elizabeth M., his mother. A close family friend, Adelyn R., is appointed standby guardian to serve when the primary guardian is no longer able to do so. Another close family friend, Yashira M.H., is appointed as the first alternate standby guardian. The successor guardians shall assume their duties of office subject to qualification and confirmation pursuant to SCPA 1757. The Acting Chief Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this decision and decree to the pro se petitioner. Decree signed. September 26, 2019
