Elena DeFio Kean, Albany, for appellant.
Robert M. Carney, District Attorney, Schenectady (Tracey A. Brunecz of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Garry, P.J., McCarthy, Devine, Aarons and Rumsey, JJ.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDERAppeal from a judgment of the County Court of Schenectady County (Sypniewski, J.), rendered June 30, 2016, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of attempted forgery in the second degree.
In satisfaction of a one-count indictment and other pending charges, defendant pleaded guilty to attempted forgery in the second degree and waived his right to appeal, both orally and in writing. In accordance with the plea agreement, County Court sentenced defendant, as a second felony offender, to a prison term of 1½ to 3 years. Defendant now appeals.
Appellate counsel seeks to be relieved of her assignment of representing defendant on the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues to be raised on appeal. Based upon our review of the record and counsel's brief, we agree. Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed and counsel's request for leave to withdraw is granted (see People v. Cruwys, 113 A.D.2d 979, 980, 493 N.Y.S.2d 653 [1985], lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 650, 499 N.Y.S.2d 1046, 490 N.E.2d 562 [1986] ; see generally People v. Stokes, 95 N.Y.2d 633, 722 N.Y.S.2d 217, 744 N.E.2d 1153 [2001] ).
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
Garry, P.J., McCarthy, Devine, Aarons and Rumsey, JJ., concur.
