Gary E. Eisenberg, New City, NY, for appellant.

Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr., District Attorney, White Plains, NY (Taylor A. Piscionere and Steven A. Bender of counsel), for respondent.

Appeals by the defendant from three judgments of the County Court, Westchester County (Minihan, J.), all rendered November 24, 2015, convicting him of assault in the second degree under Superior Court Information No. 15–00791, assault in the second degree under Superior Court Information No. 15–00792, and menacing in the second degree under Superior Court Information No. 15–00796, upon his pleas of guilty, and imposing sentences. 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 he moves for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant.

ORDERED that the judgments are 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 the appeals. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted (see id. ; Matter of Giovanni S. [Jasmin A.], 89 A.D.3d 252, 931 N.Y.S.2d 676 ; People v. Paige, 54 A.D.2d 631, 387 N.Y.S.2d 399 ; cf. People v. Gonzalez, 47 N.Y.2d 606, 419 N.Y.S.2d 913, 393 N.E.2d 987 ).

MASTRO, J.P., LEVENTHAL, HALL and COHEN, JJ., concur.
