DECISION & ORDER

Appeal from an order of the Family Court, Queens County (Mary R. O'Donoghue, J.), dated January 19, 2016. The order dismissed the mother's petition, inter alia, to restore her parental rights. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v California (386 US 738), in which she moves for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant.

ORDERED that the order 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), and we have also reviewed the appellant'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 the appeal. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted (see Matter of Hailey ZZ [Ricky ZZ.], 19 NY3d 422; Matter of Candelaria v Nardil, 154 AD3d 748; Matter of Jade Yun Hon v Tin Yat Chin, 148 AD3d 810; Matter of Kimberly J.G.
