Respondent, v Alvin Barden, Appellant. |
—[*1]
Janet DiFiore, District Attorney, White Plains, N.Y. (Laurie Sapakoff and Steven
Bender of counsel; Caitlin White on the brief), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Zambelli, J.), rendered July 10, 2012, convicting him of attempted robbery in the first degree, robbery in the second degree (two counts), and attempted robbery in the third 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 are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by the defendant's assigned counsel 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]). Dillon, J.P., Leventhal, Chambers and Miller, JJ., concur.
