James M. Abramson, PLLC, New York, N.Y. (Dawn M. Orsatti of counsel), for
petitioner-respondent.
Steven Banks, New York, N.Y. (Tamara A. Steckler and Marcia Egger of counsel),
attorney for the children.
In two related proceedings pursuant to Social Services Law § 384-b, the father appeals from two orders of the Family Court, Kings County (Turbow, J.) (one as to each proceeding), both dated September 11, 2012. The father's 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 orders are affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
We are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by the father'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 the 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, Austin and Roman, JJ., concur.
