DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from an amended judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Leonard P. Rienzi, J.), rendered March 14, 2012, convicting him of burglary in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493, in which she moves for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant.
ORDERED that the amended judgment is affirmed.We are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by the defendant's assigned counsel pursuant to Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493, 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. ; People v. Murray, ––– A.D.3d ––––, ––– N.Y.S.3d ––––, 2019 N.Y.
