DECISION AND ORDER I. BACKGROUND Petitioner Sune Gaulsh filed his petition in this court July 22, 2022, seeking to transfer the undecided motions in an underlying New York County Family Court proceeding to this court and then to transfer venue to the Supreme Court in another county or, alternatively, to compel respondents to issue appealable decisions on the outstanding motions in the Family Court proceeding. Gaulsh also asks this court to release him from the contempt orders in the Family Court proceeding, seal the record of this proceeding, and award him his costs in bringing this petition. The day before oral argument was scheduled, Gaulsh, who had commenced this proceeding pro se, sought an adjournment of the oral argument to allow his newly retained attorney to familiarize herself with his claims. He subsequently waived oral argument of the petition.
