| The People of the State of New York,
Respondent, v Jason G. Shaw, Appellant. |
Lisa A. Burgess, Indian Lake, for appellant.
Kristy L. Sprague, District Attorney, Elizabethtown (Kevin P. Mallery of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Essex County (Richard B. Meyer, J.), rendered October 29, 2020, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crimes of attempted assault in the first degree, criminal contempt in the second degree and criminal mischief in the second degree.
On May 9, 2020, defendant was arrested on two charges of attempted assault in the
first degree and other crimes following an incident in which he drove to the home of a
family member in whose favor an order of protection had been issued and, when state
troopers responded, defendant drove his truck in the direction of the troopers, causing
them to shoot defendant, whose truck struck and damaged a police vehicle. In
satisfaction of all charges and pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant waived
indictment, agreed to be prosecuted by a superior court information and pleaded guilty,
as charged therein, to attempted assault in the first degree, criminal mischief in the
second degree and criminal contempt in the second degree. Pursuant to the plea
agreement, which required a waiver of appeal, defendant orally waived his right to
appeal and signed a written waiver of appeal in open court during the plea proceedings.
Under the terms of the agreement, County Court made no sentencing commitment and
the People were to recommend a sentence of 15 years to be followed by a period of
postrelease supervision on the attempted assault in the first degree charge, to be served
consecutively to a prison term of 1
Appellate counsel seeks to be relieved of her assignment of representing defendant on the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues that may be raised on appeal. Based upon our review of the record and counsel's brief, we agree. Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed and counsel's request for leave to withdraw is granted (see People v Cruwys, 113 AD2d 979, 980 [3d Dept 1985], lv denied 67 NY2d 650 [1986]; see generally People v Beaty, 22 NY3d 490 [2014]; People v Stokes, 95 NY2d 633 [2001]).
Garry, P.J., Lynch, Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Fisher, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
