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

v

Reina Lopez, appellant. (S.C.I. No. 346/18)




Bruce R. Bekritsky, Mineola, NY, for appellant.

Madeline Singas, District Attorney, Mineola, NY (Cristin N. Connell and Michael K. Degree of counsel), for respondent.



DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Robert G. Bogle, J.), rendered March 26, 2018, convicting her of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, upon her 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, 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; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606).

DILLON, J.P., AUSTIN, ROMAN, MALTESE and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur.
