p. 676
The People of the State of New York ex rel. Warren Harris, Appellant, v Thomas A. Coughlin, as Commissioner of the New York State Department of Correctional Services, Respondent.

— In a habeas corpus proceeding, the petitioner appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Dutchess County (Hillery, J.), dated November 20, 1984, which, after a hearing, dismissed the petition and remanded him to the custody of the respondent.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

We have reviewed the record and agree with the petitioner’s assigned counsel that there are no meritorious issues that could be raised on appeal. Counsel’s application for leave to withdraw as counsel is granted (see, Anders v California, 386 US 738 ; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631 ; cf., People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606 ). Mollen, P. J., Bracken, Rubin, Hooper and Spatt, JJ., concur.
