Appeal from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, Richmond County (Raymond Rodriguez, J.), rendered March 10, 2015. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted assault in the third degree. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v. California (386 U.S. 738 [1967] ), seeking 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 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 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 A.D.2d 631 [1976] ; cf. People v. Gonzalez, 47 N.Y.2d 606 [1979] ).
PESCE, P.J., WESTON and ELLIOT, JJ., concur.
