Opinion
2013-386 N CR
05-19-2015
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Ernest Curry, Appellant.
Appeal from a judgment of the District Court of Nassau County, First District (Gary F. Knobel, J., at plea; Scott Fairgrieve, J., at sentence), rendered December 21, 2012. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of menacing in the second degree. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v California (386 US 738 [1967]), in which he seeks leave to withdraw as counsel.
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 US 738 [1967]), and, upon an independent review of the record, we conclude that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on appeal. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted (see id.; Matter of Giovanni S. [Jasmin A.], 89 AD3d 252 [2011]; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631 [1976]; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606 [1979]).
Iannacci, J.P., Tolbert and Garguilo, JJ., concur.
Decided on May 19, 2015
