Order, Family Court, New York County (J. Machelle Sweeting, J.), entered on or about July 11, 2017, which dismissed respondent mother's petition seeking modification of a custody order, unanimously affirmed, without costs.Application by the mother's assigned counsel to withdraw as counsel is granted (see Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 [1967] ; People v. Saunders, 52 A.D.2d 833, 384 N.Y.S.2d 161 [1st Dept. 1976] ). A review of the record demonstrates that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on this appeal. We agree with counsel that the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to entertain the mother's petition (see Domestic Relations Law § 76–a[1] ; Matter of Renaldo R. v. Chanice R., 131 A.D.3d 885, 16 N.Y.S.3d 544 [1st Dept. 2015] ).
