Appellate Division, Second Department

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Steven Lukes, Appellant.

Martin Geoffrey Goldberg, Franklin Square, N.Y., for appellant.

Madeline Singas, Acting District Attorney, Mineola, N.Y. (Tammy J. Smiley of counsel; Matthew C. Frankel on the brief), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Anzalone, J.), rendered March 19, 2013, convicting him of attempted assault 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 conclude that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on the appeal. Counsel’s application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted ( see Anders v California , 386 US 738 [1967]; 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]). Rivera, J.P., Hall, Roman, Cohen and Barros, JJ., concur..
