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

v

Michael S. Knapp, appellant. (S.C.I. Nos. 211/16, 41/18)




Thomas N. N. Angell, Poughkeepsie, NY (Steven Levine of counsel), for appellant.

William V. Grady, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, NY (Bridget R. Steller of counsel), for respondent.



DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from (1) a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Peter M. Forman, J.), rendered June 19, 2018, convicting him of aggravated family offense under Superior Court Information No. 41/18, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence, and (2) an amended judgment of the same court, also rendered June 19, 2018, revoking a sentence of probation previously imposed by the same court, upon a finding that he had violated a condition thereof, upon his admission, and imposing a sentence of imprisonment upon his previous conviction of aggravated family offense under Superior Court Information No. 211/16. 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 and amended judgment are 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 from the judgment or the amended judgment. 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).

BALKIN, J.P., CHAMBERS, COHEN, CONNOLLY and WOOTEN, JJ., concur.
