[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,

v

Bertoni Boucaud, appellant.




Thomas R. Villecco, Jericho, N.Y., for appellant, and appellant pro se.

Madeline Singas, Acting District Attorney, Mineola, N.Y. (Tammy J. Smiley and Matthew C. Frankel of counsel), for respondent.



DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Gulotta, Jr., J.), rendered April 3, 2013, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v California (386 US 738), in which he 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), and we have also reviewed the defendant's pro se supplemental brief. Upon an independent review of the record, we conclude that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on the appeal. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted (see Anders v California, 386 US 738; Matter of Giovanni S. [Jasmin A.], 89 AD3d 252; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606; People v Sedita, 113 AD3d 638).

BALKIN, J.P., CHAMBERS, COHEN and HINDS-RADIX, JJ., concur.
