MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

The case is held, the decision is reserved, the motion to relieve counsel of assignment is granted and new counsel is to be assigned. Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him of assault in the second degree (Penal Law § 120.05 [7]) and sentencing him to a determinate term of imprisonment of five years. Defendant's assigned appellate counsel has moved to be relieved of the assignment pursuant to People v Crawford (71 AD2d 38 [4th Dept 1979]). Upon a review of the record we conclude that a nonfrivolous issue exists as to whether defendant entered a guilty plea (cf. People v Keitz, 99 AD3d 1254, 1255 [4th Dept 2012], lv denied 20 NY3d 1012 [2013], cert denied 571 US 993 [2013]). Therefore, we relieve counsel of his assignment and assign new counsel to brief this issue, as well as any other issues that counsel's review of the record may disclose.
