Calendar Date: August 10, 2015
Before: Lahtinen, J.P., McCarthy, Egan Jr. and Rose, JJ.
__________
Barry J. Jones, Hudson Falls, for appellant.
Glenn MacNeill, Acting District Attorney, Malone, for
respondent.

Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Franklin
County (Main Jr., J.), rendered June 17, 2013, convicting
defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of criminal
contempt in the first degree.
Defendant pleaded guilty to the sole count of an indictment
charging him with criminal contempt in the first degree and
waived his right to appeal. In accordance with the plea
agreement, County Court sentenced defendant as a second felony
offender to 1½ to 3 years in prison, to run concurrently with the
sentence he was then serving. Defendant now 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
review of the record and counsel's brief, we agree. Therefore,
-2- 106168
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]).
Lahtinen, J.P., McCarthy, Egan Jr. and Rose, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, and application to
be relieved of assignment granted.
