The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Joseph WOODS, Appellant.

G. Scott Walling, Queensbury, for appellant, and appellant pro se. P. David Soares, District Attorney, Albany (Christopher D. Horn of counsel), for respondent.


G. Scott Walling, Queensbury, for appellant, and appellant pro se.

P. David Soares, District Attorney, Albany (Christopher D. Horn of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Breslin, J.), rendered November 19, 2015 in Albany County, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree.

In satisfaction of two indictments, defendant pleaded guilty to attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and waived his right to appeal, both orally and in writing. He was sentenced in accordance with the terms of the plea agreement and now appeals.

Appellate counsel seeks to be relieved of his assignment of representing defendant on the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues to be raised on appeal. Based upon our review of the record, counsel's brief and defendant's pro se submission, we agree. Therefore, the judgment is affirmed and counsel's request for leave to withdraw is granted (see People v. Cruwys, 113 A.D.2d 979, 980, 493 N.Y.S.2d 653 [1985], lv. denied 67 N.Y.2d 650, 499 N.Y.S.2d 1046, 490 N.E.2d 562 [1986] ; see generally People v. Stokes, 95 N.Y.2d 633, 722 N.Y.S.2d 217, 744 N.E.2d 1153 [2001] ).

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.

McCARTHY, J.P., GARRY, EGAN JR., CLARK and MULVEY, JJ., concur.
