v
Roger Wright, appellant.
¶1Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (Lynn W. L. Fahey of counsel), for appellant.
¶2Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Jodi Mandel of counsel; Robert Ho on the brief), for respondent.
¶3DECISION & ORDER
¶4Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Michael D. Kitsis, J.), rendered January 2, 2019, convicting him of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle 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), in which she moves for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant.
¶5ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
¶6We are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by the defendant's assigned counsel pursuant to Anders v California (386 US 738), 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; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606).
