—[*1]
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano and Daniel
Bresnahan of counsel; Andrew Dykens on the brief), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Eng, J.), rendered November 1, 2005, convicting him of manslaughter 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 she moves for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
We are satisfied with the sufficiency of defense counsel's brief filed pursuant to Anders v California (386 US 738 [1967]), and, upon an independent review of the record, we conclude that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on appeal. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted (see Anders v California, 386 US 738 [1967]; Matter of Giovanni S. [Jasmin A.], 89 AD3d 252 [2011]; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631 [1976]; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606 [1979]). Balkin, J.P., Leventhal, Belen and Roman, JJ., concur.
