People v. Salasar

Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Chemung County (Buckley, J.), rendered September 9, 2002, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of attempted promoting prison contraband in the first degree.

Defendant entered a counseled plea of guilty to the crime of attempted promoting prison contraband in the first degree and was sentenced as a second felony offender to a negotiated prison term of 1½ to 3 years. On appeal, defense counsel seeks to be relieved of his assignment as counsel for defendant on the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues that can be raised on appeal. Upon our review of the record and defense counsel’s brief, we agree. The judgment is, accordingly, affirmed and defense counsel’s application for leave to withdraw is granted (see People v Cruwys, 113 AD2d 979 [1985], lv denied 67 NY2d 650 [1986]; see generally People v Stokes, 95 NY2d 633 [2001]).

Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Rose, Lahtinen and Kane, JJ., concur.
