The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

against

Justin Russ, Appellant.


Appellate Advocates (Maisha Kamal of counsel), for appellant. Queens County District Attorney (Johnnette Traill and Amanda Iannuzzi of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from two judgments of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, Queens County (Diego A. Freire, J.), rendered September 9, 2022. Each judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of petit larceny, and imposed sentence. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v California (386 US 738 [1967]), seeking leave to withdraw as counsel.

ORDERED that the judgments of conviction are affirmed.

We are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by defendant's assigned counsel pursuant to Anders v California (386 US 738 [1967]), 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 id.; People v Murray, 169 AD3d 227 [2019]; Matter of Giovanni S. [Jasmin A.], 89 AD3d 252 [2011]; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631 [1976]; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606 [1979]).

TOUSSAINT, P.J., BUGGS and OTTLEY, JJ., concur.
