v
Jose Torres, appellant. (Ind. Nos. 3800/15, 5012/15)
Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Lynn W. L. Fahey of counsel), for appellant.
Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Jodi L. Mandel of counsel; Robert Ho on the brief), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from two judgments of the County Court, Kings County (Joseph E. Gubbay, J.), both rendered November 14, 2016, convicting him of attempted burglary in the second degree under Indictment No. 3800/15, and attempted burglary in the second degree under Indictment No. 5012/15, upon his pleas of guilty, and imposing sentences. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v California (386 U.S. 738), in which he moves for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant.
ORDERED that the judgments are affirmed.
We are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by the defendant's assigned counsel pursuant to Anders v California (386 U.S. 738), and upon an independent review of the record, we conclude that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on the appeals. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted (see id.; Matter of Giovanni S. [Jasmin A.], 89 AD3d 252, 255; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606).
