The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Christopher D. Hasenflue, Appellant.
Gail B. Rubenfeld, Monticello, for appellant. David J. Clegg, District Attorney, Kingston (Joan Gudesblatt Lamb of counsel), for respondent.
Calendar Date: December 30, 2021
Gail B. Rubenfeld, Monticello, for appellant.
David J. Clegg, District Attorney, Kingston (Joan Gudesblatt Lamb of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Garry, P.J., Lynch, Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Colangelo, JJ.
Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Ulster County (Williams, J.), rendered March 7, 2017, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of robbery in the first degree.
In satisfaction of a three-count indictment, defendant pleaded guilty to robbery in the first degree and waived his right to appeal. County Court sentenced defendant, a second violent felony offender, to the agreed-upon prison term of 20 years, followed by five years of postrelease supervision. Defendant appeals.
Appellate counsel seeks to be relieved of her 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. 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 [1985], lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 650 [1986]; see generally People v Beaty, 22 N.Y.3d 490 [2014]; People v Stokes, 95 N.Y.2d 633 [2001]).
Garry, P.J., Lynch, Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Colangelo, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
