The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Anise Civil, Appellant.

[54 NYS3d 874]

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Chun, J.), rendered December 2, 2015, convicting her of criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, upon her plea of guilty, and imposing sentence. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v California ( 386 US 738 [1967]), in which she moves for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

We are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by the defendant’s assigned counsel pursuant to Anders v California ( 386 US 738 [1967]), and, upon an independent review of the record, we conclude that there are no nonfrivolous issues which

could be raised on appeal. Counsel’s application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted (see id,.; Matter of Giovanni S. [Jasmin A.], 89 AD3d 252 [2011]; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631 [1976]; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606 [1979]).

Mastro, J.P., Hall, Cohen and Iannacci, JJ., concur.
