Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Joe Izzo, Appellant.

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Lynn W. L. Fahey of counsel), for appellant.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Joanne Quinones, J.), rendered June 14, 2017, convicting him of attempted robbery in the second degree, 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 he 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 agree that there are no nonfrivolous issues that could be raised on appeal. Counsel’s application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted ( see id. ; People v Murray , 169 AD3d 227 [2019]; Matter of Giovanni S. [Jasmin A.] , 89 AD3d 252 [2011]; cf. People v Gonzalez , 47 NY2d 606 [1979]). Balkin, J.P., Chambers, Cohen, Barros and Connolly, JJ., concur..
