People v. Graham

State of New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division Third Judicial Department Decided and Entered: December 11, 2014 106152 ________________________________ THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v MEMORANDUM AND ORDER SHERRIE D. GRAHAM, Appellant. ________________________________ Calendar Date: October 21, 2014 Before: Peters, P.J., Lahtinen, Egan Jr., Lynch and Devine, JJ. __________ G. Scott Walling, Schenectady, for appellant, and appellant pro se. Derek P. Champagne, District Attorney, Malone (Glenn MacNeill of counsel), for respondent. __________ Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Franklin County (Main Jr., J.), rendered March 4, 2013, convicting defendant upon her plea of guilty of the crime of attempted promoting prison contraband in the first degree. In satisfaction of a six-count indictment, defendant entered a guilty plea to attempted promoting prison contraband in the first degree and waived her right to appeal in exchange for a sentence not to exceed five years of probation and 180 days in jail. At sentencing, County Court imposed that agreed-upon sentence. Defendant appeals. Appellate counsel seeks to be relieved of his assignment of representing defendant upon the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues to be raised on appeal. Based upon our -2- 106152 review of the record, defense counsel's brief and defendant's pro se brief, we agree. Therefore, the judgment is affirmed and counsel's request for leave to withdraw is granted (see People v Cruwys, 113 AD2d 979, 980, [1985], lv denied 67 NY2d 650, [1986]; see generally People v Stokes, 95 NY2d 633 [2001]). Peters, P.J., Lahtinen, Egan Jr., Lynch and Devine, JJ., concur. ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted. ENTER: Robert D. Mayberger Clerk of the Court
