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

v

Taheim Hart, appellant. (S.C.I. Nos. 90186/16, 90187/16)

Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Lynn W. L. Fahey of counsel) for appellant.

Michael E. McMahon, District Attorney, Staten Island, NY (Morrie I. Kleinbart and Alexander Fumelli of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeals by the defendant from two judgments of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Alan J. Meyer, J., at plea; Raja Rajeswari, J., at sentence), both rendered February 7, 2012, convicting him of attempted robbery in the third degree under Superior Court Information No. 90186/16 and attempted burglary in the third degree under Superior Court Information No. 90187/16, upon his pleas of guilty, and imposing sentences. 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 judgments 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). 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).

DILLON, J.P., SGROI, HINDS-RADIX, BRATHWAITE NELSON and IANNACCI, JJ., concur.
