Opinion
February 22, 1999
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (George, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
We have reviewed the record and agree with the defendant's assigned counsel that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on appeal. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is granted (see, Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738; People v. Paige, 54 A.D.2d 631; cf., People v. Gonzalez, 47 N.Y.2d 606).
The defendant has raised no nonfrivolous issues in his supplemental pro se brief. To the extent that the defendant raises the issue of ineffective assistance of counsel, the various factual assertions involve matters dehors the record. Therefore, the defendant's claim is not properly before this Court on direct appeal (see, People v. Grazzette, 211 A.D.2d 822; People v. Dyson, 200 A.D.2d 756).
Miller, J. P., Sullivan, Friedmann and Luciano, JJ., concur.
