v
Abubakr Abdullah, appellant. (S.C.I. No. 2565/17)
Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Lynn W. L. Fahey of counsel), for appellant, and
appellant pro se.
Melinda Katz, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (Johnnette Traill and Danielle
S. Fenn of counsel; Lorrie A. Zinno on the brief), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Toko Serita, J., at plea; Suzanne J. Melendez, J., at sentencing), rendered December 21, 2017, convicting him of attempted robbery in the third 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 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).
AUSTIN, J.P., BARROS, CONNOLLY and IANNACCI, JJ., concur.
