The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Thomas Taranto, Appellant.

[*1] Steven A. Feldman, Uniondale, N.Y., for appellant.

Kathleen M. Rice, District Attorney, Mineola, N.Y. (Robert A. Schwartz and Valentina M. Tejera of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from an order of the County Court, Nassau County (Carter, J.), entered April 21, 2005, which denied his motion pursuant to the Drug Law Reform Act of 2004 (L 2004, ch 738) for resentencing upon his conviction of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, which sentence was originally imposed, upon his plea of guilty, on January 3, 2003.

Ordered that the order is affirmed.

We have reviewed the record and agree with the defendant's assigned counsel that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on appeal. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is granted (see Anders v California, 386 US 738 [1967]; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631 [1976]; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606 [1979]). Fisher, J.P., Florio, Angiolillo, Dickerson and Belen, JJ., concur.
