The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent,- v. Abraham CRUZ, Appellant.
Appeal from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, Queens County (Gene R. Lopez, J.), rendered October 15, 2009. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of petit larceny. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v. California (386 U.S. 738 [1967] ), in which he moves for leave to withdraw as counsel for appellant.
Present: WESTON, J.P., PESCE and RIOS, JJ.
ORDERED that the judgment of conviction is affirmed.
We are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by defendant's assigned counsel pursuant to Anders v. California (386 U.S. 738 [1967] ), and, upon an independent review of the record, we conclude that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on the appeal. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted ( see Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738;People v. Blasi, 76 AD3d 550 [2010];People v. Paige, 54 A.D.2d 631 [1976];cf. People v. Gonzalez, 47 N.Y.2d 606 [1979] ).
