Michael P. Graven, Owego, for appellant.
Robert J. Simpson, District Attorney, Owego, for respondent.
Before: CARDONA, P.J., MERCURE, CREW III, SPAIN and CARPINELLO, JJ.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Defense counsel seeks to be relieved from his assignment as counsel for defendant on the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues that can be raised on appeal. Upon review of the record and defense counsel's brief, we agree. Defendant entered a knowing, voluntary and intelligent plea of guilty to manslaughter in the second degree and was sentenced to an indeterminate term of 1 to 6 years in prison. His sentence is in accordance with both the plea bargain and the relevant statutory provisions. 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).
Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Crew III, Spain and Carpinello, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
