ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
We have reviewed the record and agree with the appellant's assigned counsel that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on appeal. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is granted ( see, Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738; Matter of Ayesha Shandeia McM., 255 A.D.2d 515).
