Opinion
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Murphy, J.), rendered May 26, 1994, convicting him of attempted murder in the second degree (two counts), upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
We have reviewed the record and agree with the defendant’s assigned counsel that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on appeal. Counsel’s application for leave to withdraw as counsel is granted (see, Anders v California, 386 US 738; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631; cf., People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606).
The defendant has raised no nonfrivolous issues in his supplemental pro se brief. To the extent that the defendant raises the issue of ineffective assistance of counsel, the various factual assertions involve matters dehors the record. Therefore, the defendant’s claim is not properly before this Court on direct appeal (see, People v Grazzette, 211 AD2d 822; People v Dyson, 200 AD2d 756). Mangano, P. J., Ritter, Sullivan, Altman and McGinity, JJ., concur.
