v
James A. Haynesworth, appellant. (S.C.I. No. 71127/24)
Paul Skip Laisure, Garden City, NY, for appellant.
Anne T. Donnelly, District Attorney, Mineola, NY (Jared A. Chester of counsel; Matthew C. Frankel on the brief), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Meryl J. Berkowitz, J.), rendered September 5, 2024, convicting him of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance 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, upon an independent review of the record, we conclude that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on appeal from the judgment. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted (see id.; People v Giese, 221 AD3d 912, 912; People v Singh, 218 AD3d 500, 500).
CONNOLLY, J.P., CHRISTOPHER, VENTURA and GOLIA, JJ., concur.
ENTER:Darrell M. Joseph
Clerk of the Court
