Opinion
January 23, 1997.
Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Broome County (Mathews, J.), rendered August 8, 1994, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree.
Before: Cardona, P.J., Mikoll, Mercure, Crew III and White, JJ.
Defense counsel seeks to be relieved of his assignment as counsel for defendant on the ground that there are no non-frivolous issues that can be raised on this appeal. Our review of both the record and defense counsel's brief leads to the same conclusion. Defendant entered a knowing, voluntary and intelligent plea of guilty to the crime of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree. His sentence was in accordance with the plea agreement and with the relevant statutory requirements. The judgment is, accordingly, affirmed and defense counsel's application for leave to withdraw is granted ( see, People v Cruwys, 113 AD2d 979, lv denied 67 NY2d 650).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
