MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
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. Upon our review of the record and defense counsel's brief, we agree. Defendant entered a knowing, voluntary and intelligent plea of guilty and waived his right to appeal. Defendant was sentenced, as a second felony offender, in accordance with the negotiated plea agreement to a prison term of 2 to 4 years. 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; see generally People v. Stokes, 95 N.Y.2d 633).
Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Carpinello, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
