The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. William NORWOOD, Appellant.
Appeal from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, Kings County (Michael Gerstein, J.), rendered August 9, 2012. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of disorderly conduct. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v. California (386 U.S. 738 [1967] ), in which he seeks 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 ), 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] ).
SOLOMON, J.P., WESTON and ELLIOT, JJ., concur.
