MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Defendant, a prison inmate, pleaded guilty to the crime of promoting prison contraband in the first degree in satisfaction of a four-count superior information and was sentenced as a second felony offender to a prison term of 3 to 6 years. 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. Based upon our review of the record and defense counsel's brief, we agree. Accordingly, the judgment is 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).
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
