| The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Jose L. Morales, Appellant. |
—[*1]
Janet DiFiore, District Attorney, White Plains, N.Y. (Laurie Sapakoff and Richard Longworth
Hecht of counsel; Andrew W. Buder on the brief), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Cacace, J.), rendered May 4, 2010, convicting him of attempted rape in the first degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v California (386 US 738 [1967]), in which he moves for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant.
Ordered that the judgment 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]). Mastro, J.P., Balkin, Chambers and Sgroi, JJ., concur.
