Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Ezikiel Ross, Appellant.

Martin Geoffrey Goldberg, Franklin Square, NY, for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Keith Dolan of counsel; Robert Ho on the brief), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a resentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Danny K. Chun, J.), imposed March 12, 2015, upon his convictions of sexual abuse in the first degree (five counts) and assault in the second degree (two counts). 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 resentence 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]). Scheinkman, P.J., Mastro, Christopher and Wooten, JJ., concur..
