The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Timothy Ferreira, Appellant.
Thomas R. Villecco, Albany, for appellant. Weeden A. Wetmore, District Attorney, Elmira (Susan Rider-Ulacco of counsel), for respondent.
Calendar Date: September 3, 2021.
Thomas R. Villecco, Albany, for appellant.
Weeden A. Wetmore, District Attorney, Elmira (Susan Rider-Ulacco of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Egan Jr., J.P., Lynch, Clark, Pritzker and Colangelo, JJ.
Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Chemung County (Rich Jr., J.), rendered March 9, 2018, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of attempted promoting prison contraband in the first degree.
Defendant pleaded guilty to attempted promoting prison contraband in the first degree. County Court sentenced him, as a second felony offender, to the agreed-upon term of 1½ to 3 years in prison, to run consecutively to the sentence that he was then serving. Defendant appeals.
Appellate counsel seeks to be relieved of his assignment of representing defendant on the basis that there are no nonfrivolous issues to be raised on appeal. Based upon our review of the record and counsel's brief, we agree. Consequently, the judgment is affirmed and counsel's request for leave to withdraw is granted (see People v Cruwys, 113 A.D.2d 979, 980 [1985], lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 650 [1986]; see generally People v Beaty, 22 N.Y.3d 490 [2014]; People v Stokes, 95 N.Y.2d 633 [2001]).
Egan Jr., J.P., Lynch, Clark, Pritzker and Colangelo, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
