MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
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. Defendant entered a knowing, voluntary and intelligent plea of guilty of the crime of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and was sentenced in accordance with the plea agreement to a prison term of 2 to 5 years. The judgment is, accordingly, affirmed and defense counsel's application for leave to withdraw granted (see,People v. Cruwys, 113 A.D.2d 979, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 650).
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
