The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Thomas LOPEZ-PIERRE, Defendant-Appellant.
Per Curiam.
Judgment of conviction (Steven M. Statsinger, J.), rendered January 3, 2017, affirmed.
Application by appellant's counsel to withdraw as counsel is granted (see Anders v. California , 386 US 738 [1967] ; People v. Saunders , 52 AD2d 833 [1976] ). We are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by defendant's assigned counsel pursuant to Anders , and, upon an independent review of the record, agree that there is no valid appealable issue that could be raised on appeal.
