The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Angel Diaz, Appellant.
    [721 NYS2d 567]
   —Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Schenectady County (Eidens, J.), rendered July 27, 1999, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree.

Defense counsel seeks to be relieved of his assignment as counsel for defendant on the ground that no nonfrivolous issues can be raised on appeal. Based upon our review of the record and defense counsel’s brief, we agree. The record discloses that in satisfaction of a six-count indictment, defendant entered a knowing, voluntary and intelligent plea of guilty to the crime of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree. As part of the negotiated plea agreement, defendant waived his right to appeal and was sentenced as a second felony offender to a prison term of 3V2 to 7 years. In view of the foregoing, we affirm the judgment of conviction and grant defense counsel’s application to withdraw (see, People v Cruwys, 113 AD2d 979, lv denied 67 NY2d 650; see also, People v Stokes, 95 NY2d 633).

Crew III, J. P., Peters, Spain, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
