Opinion
December 24, 1997
Appeal from the Family Court of Broome County (Ray, J.).
Respondent admitted to violating an order of protection directing that he have no contact with Amber EE. and was sentenced, as agreed, to four months in jail. Respondent's counsel seeks to be relieved of representing respondent on appeal on the basis that no nonfrivolous issues exist. Upon our review of the record and brief submitted by respondent's counsel, we agree. Consequently, counsel's application to be relieved of her assignment is granted (see, Matter of Dart v. Howell, 237 A.D.2d 825; see also, Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738).
Mercure, J. P., Crew III, White, Yesawich Jr. and Carpinello, JJ.
Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
