SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE TERM, FIRST DEPARTMENT
PRESENT: Shulman, J.P., Hunter, Jr., Ling-Cohan, JJ.
570519/12

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

against

Jorge Espino, Defendant-Appellant.


Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Lynn R. Kotler, J. at plea; Marc J. Whiten, J. at sentencing), rendered March 19, 2012, convicting him, upon a plea of guilty, of forcible touching, and imposing sentence.

Per Curiam.

Judgment of conviction (Lynn R. Kotler, J., at plea; Marc J. Whiten, J., at sentencing), rendered March 19, 2012, affirmed.

Application by appellant's counsel to withdraw as counsel is granted (see Anders v California, 386 US 738 [1967]; People v Saunders, 52 AD2d 833 [1979]). We are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by defendant's assigned counsel pursuant to Anders, and, upon an independent review of the record, agree that there is no


valid appealable issue that could be raised on appeal.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
