The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Paul DeMetro, Appellant.

Laurette D. Mulry, Riverhead, NY (Alfred J. Cicale of counsel), for appellant.

Timothy D. Sini, District Attorney, Riverhead, NY (Michael J. Miller of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (John J. Toomey, J.), rendered January 3, 2017, convicting him of aggravated driving while intoxicated in violation of Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192 (2-a) (b) (two counts), driving while intoxicated in violation of Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192 (2) and (3), endangering the welfare of a child, failing to stay in a designated lane, unsafe turn, and operating a motor vehicle without an appropriate child-restraint system, 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 she 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 id. ; 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]). Leventhal, J.P., Austin, Cohen, Barros and Christopher, JJ., concur..
