People v. Velez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Oct 9, 1997
243 A.D.2d 772 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

October 9, 1997

Appeal from County Court, Franklin County (Main, Jr., J.).


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. Our review of both the record and defense counsel's brief leads to the same conclusion. Defendant entered a knowing, voluntary and intelligent plea of guilty to the crime of attempted promoting prison contraband in the first degree. His sentence was in full accordance with both the plea agreement and the relevant statutory requirements. 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).

Mercure, J.P., White, Casey, Spain and Carpinello, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
