MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
In satisfaction of a seven-count indictment, defendant pleaded guilty to four counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree. County Court sentenced defendant as a second felony offender on each count to the minimum permissible prison term of 4½ to 9 years, to run concurrently. Defense counsel seeks to be relieved of her assignment as counsel for defendant on the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues that can be raised on appeal. Upon our review of the record and defense counsel's brief, we agree. The judgment is, accordingly, affirmed and defense counsel's application for leave to withdraw is granted (see People v. Cruwys, 113 A.D.2d 979, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 650; see generally People v. Stokes, 95 N.Y.2d 633).
Cardona, P.J., Crew III, Carpinello, Mugglin and Rose, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
