G. Scott Walling, Slingerlands, for appellant.
Robert M. Carney, District Attorney, Schenectady (Peter H. Willis of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Egan Jr., J.P., Lynch, Mulvey and Aarons, JJ.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER Defendant pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree in satisfaction of an indictment charging her and a codefendant with multiple drug-related crimes. In connection therewith, she also waived her right to appeal. In accordance with the terms of the plea agreement, she was sentenced to eight years in prison, followed by five years of postrelease supervision. Defendant appeals.
Appellate counsel seeks to be relieved of his assignment of representing defendant on the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues that may be raised on appeal. Based upon our review of the record and counsel's brief, we agree. Therefore, 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. Beaty, 22 N.Y.3d 490, 982 N.Y.S.2d 820, 5 N.E.3d 983 [2014] ; People v. Stokes, 95 N.Y.2d 633, 722 N.Y.S.2d 217, 744 N.E.2d 1153 [2001] ).
Egan Jr., J.P., Lynch, Mulvey and Aarons, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
