v
Michael P. Johns, appellant.
Thomas J. Butler, Melville, NY, for appellant.
DECISION & ORDER
In a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 8, Michael P. Johns appeals from an order of protection of the Family Court, Suffolk County (James F. Quinn, J.), dated May 3, 2021. The order of protection, after a hearing, and upon a finding, in effect, that Michael P. Johns committed the family offense of harassment in the second degree, directed him, inter alia, to refrain from harassing the petitioner until and including May 3, 2022. 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 order of protection is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
We are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by assigned counsel pursuant to Anders v California (386 US 738). 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 id.; Matter of Tunkel v Toonkel, 197 AD3d 473; Matter of Jade Yun Hon v Tin Yat Chin, 148 AD3d 810).
BRATHWAITE NELSON, J.P., CHAMBERS, ROMAN and ZAYAS, JJ., concur.
