March 6, 2019

Appellate Division, Second Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Michael J. Shea, Appellant.

Janet E. Sabel, New York, NY (Kristina Schwarz of counsel), for appellant.

Michael E. McMahon, District Attorney, Staten Island, NY (Morrie I. Kleinbart and Alexander Fumelli of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from an amended judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Leonard P. Rienzi, J.), rendered March 14, 2012, convicting him of burglary 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 she moves for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant.

Ordered that the amended 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 [2d Dept 2019]; 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, Roman, Maltese and Connolly, JJ., concur..
