Appeal from two judgments of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, Queens County (Diego A. Freire, J.), rendered September 9, 2022. Each judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of petit larceny, and imposed sentence. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v California (386 U.S. 738 [1967]), seeking leave to withdraw as counsel.
ORDERED that the judgments of conviction are affirmed.
We are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by defendant's assigned counsel pursuant to Anders v California (386 U.S. 738 [1967]), and, upon an independent review of the record, we conclude that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on appeal. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted (see id.; People v Murray, 169 A.D.3d 227 [2019]; Matter of Giovanni S. [Jasmin A.], 89 A.D.3d 252 [2011]; People v Paige, 54 A.D.2d 631 [1976]; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 N.Y.2d 606 [1979]).
TOUSSAINT, P.J., BUGGS and OTTLEY, JJ., concur.
