Opinion
April 3, 1997
Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Warren County (Moynihan, Jr., J.), rendered August 17, 1994, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree.
Defense counsel seeks to be relieved of his assignment as counsel for defendant on the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues that can be raised on appeal. Our review of both the record and defense counsel's brief leads to the same conclusion. Defendant entered a knowing, voluntary and intelligent plea of guilty of the crime of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree. His sentence was in accordance with the plea agreement and complied with the relevant statutory requirements. The judgment is, accordingly, affirmed and defense counsel's application for leave to withdraw is granted ( see, People v. Cruwys, 113 A.D.2d 979, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 650).
Cardona, P.J., Crew III, White, Casey and Carpinello, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
