—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Hanophy, J.), rendered January 8, 2001, convicting him of murder in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
p. 417
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]).
The defendant has not, nor could he have, raised any non-frivolous issues in his supplemental pro se brief. Ritter, J.P., Feuerstein, McGinity, Townes and Cozier, JJ., concur.
