p. 758
Defense counsel seeks to be relieved of representing defendant on appeal on the basis that there are no nonfrivolous issues to be raised. Based upon our review of the record, defense counsel’s brief and defendant’s pro se submission, we agree. Consequently, the judgment is affirmed and defense counsel’s application to be relieved of assignment is granted (see, People v Cruwys, 113 AD2d 979 , lv denied 67 NY2d 650 ).
Mikoll, J. P., Mercure, Crew III, Peters and Spain, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
