p. 292The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Richard Edwards, Appellant. [760 NYS2d 329]
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Rotker, J.), rendered January 2, 2001, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
We have reviewed the record and agree with the defendant’s assigned counsel that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on appeal. Counsel’s application for leave to withdraw as counsel is granted (see Anders v California, 386 US 738 [1967]; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631 [1976]; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606 [1979]). Altman, J.P., Krausman, Goldstein, H. Miller and Crane, JJ., concur.
