July 19, 2023

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Maliki Lundy, Appellant.

Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (Lynn W.L. Fahey of counsel), for appellant.

Melinda Katz, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (Johnnette Traill, Danielle S. Fenn, and Katira D. Campos of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Michael J. Yavinsky, J.), rendered August 11, 2021, convicting him of criminal contempt in the first 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 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. ; People v Murray , 169 AD3d 227 [2019]; Matter of Giovanni S. [Jasmin A.] , 89 AD3d 252 [2011]). Dillon, J.P., Barros, Wooten and Voutsinas, JJ., concur..
