—The case is held, the decision is reserved, the motion to relieve counsel of assignment is granted and new counsel is to be assigned. Memorandum: Defendant was convicted upon a guilty plea of manslaughter in the first degree (Penal Law § 125.20 [1]), and was sentenced to a determinate term of imprisonment of seventeen years and five years of postrelease supervision. Defendant's assigned appellate counsel has moved to be relieved of the assignment pursuant to People v Crawford (71 AD2d 38 [4th Dept 1979]). However, a nonfrivolous issue exists as to whether defendant's waiver of the right to appeal was valid. Therefore, we relieve counsel of her assignment and assign new counsel to brief this issue, as well as any other issues that counsel's review of the record may disclose. (Appeal from Judgment of Monroe County Court, Victoria M. Argento, J.—Manslaughter, 1st Degree). Present—Peradotto, J.P., Carni, Lindley, Curran and Bannister, JJ.
