DECISION & ORDER

In a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 10, the putative father appeals from an order of fact-finding and disposition of the Family Court, Queens County (Robert Caloras, J.), dated October 5, 2018. The order, inter alia, terminated his parental rights and transferred guardianship and custody of the subject child to the petitioner for the purpose of adoption. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v California (386 US 738), in which he moves to be relieved of his assignment to prosecute this appeal.

ORDERED that the order of fact-finding and disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

We are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by the 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 the appeal. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted (see id.; Matter of Whittaker v Quiles, 144 AD3d 931; Matter of Giovanni S. [Jasmin A.], 89 AD3d 252).

MASTRO, J.P., DILLON, BRATHWAITE NELSON and IANNACCI, JJ., concur.
