[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vMaurice Clark, appellant.


Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Lynn W. L. Fahey of counsel), for appellant.
Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Jodi L. Mandel of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Martin P. Murphy, J.), rendered February 2, 2017, convicting him of criminal possession 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. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted (see Anders v California, 386 US 738; People v Murray, _____ AD3d _____, 2019 NY Slip Op 01101 [2d Dept 2019]; People v Walker, 157 AD3d 726, 726; People v Vosper, 156 AD3d 919, 920; Matter of Giovanni S. [Jasmin A.], 89 AD3d 252, 255).
BALKIN, J.P., CHAMBERS, COHEN and BARROS, JJ., concur.
