________________________________ THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v MEMORANDUM AND ORDER PIERRE BOND, Appellant.

________________________________ Calendar Date: November 18, 2016 Before: Peters, P.J., McCarthy, Egan Jr., Lynch and Devine, JJ.

__________ Susan Patnode, Rural Law Center of New York, Castleton (Kelly L. Egan of counsel), for appellant. Mary E. Rain, District Attorney, Canton (Marquetta Christy of counsel), for respondent.

__________ McCarthy, J. Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of St. Lawrence County (Richards, J.), rendered July 14, 2014, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of criminal sexual act in the first degree. Defendant pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of criminal sexual act in the first degree and waived his right to appeal. Defendant's subsequent oral motion to withdraw his plea was denied and County Court sentenced him, in accordance with the plea agreement, to a prison term of 21 years followed by 20 years of postrelease supervision. Defendant appeals.-2- 107108

Initially, defendant challenges his plea as not knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently entered. To the extent that defendant preserved the issues in his motion to withdraw his guilty plea (see People v Burns, 133 AD3d 1045, 1046 [2015], lv denied 27 NY3d 1149 [2016]), the record belies his contention that County Court coerced him into pleading guilty or that any alleged errors by defense counsel rendered his plea involuntary. We note that, to the extent that defendant's challenges to the ineffective assistance of counsel involve matters outside the record, they are more appropriately addressed in a CPL article 440 motion (see People v Perkins, 140 AD3d 1401, 1403 [2016]). Furthermore, defendant's challenge to the sentence imposed as harsh and excessive is precluded by the waiver of the right to appeal. The record reflects that despite defendant's illiterate cognitive impairment, the waiver was appropriately explained to defendant, who then knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently waived that right (see People v Andrews, 78 AD3d 1229, 1233 [2010], lv denied 16 NY3d 827 [2011]). Peters, P.J., Egan Jr., Lynch and Devine, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

SELECTION OF CAMERA FILTERS FOR COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY

One of the problems facing the serious color photographer—whether he is a hobbyist or

, scientist trying to record accurately some physical phenomenon—is matching his color film o the light he is using to take the picture.

Color films are usually balanced for a particular kind of light, classified as "daylight,"

'flash/' "3200 °K," or "photoflood." When a film is used in light with a different color

mlance, filters are used over the camera lens to bring the combination back into agreement.

This chart provides a quick and easy way to select the right filter for almost any combination

)f light source and color film. A straightedge laid across the three scales so that it connects

-he light source and the color film will cross the center line at a point corresponding to the

)roper filter. Notations consisting of a series of filter designations (e.g., 80b+82c+82a)

nean that all these filters should be used at once for proper correction. When color correcting

liters are used, the exposure must be increased by the "filter factor" assigned by the filter nanufacturer.

The chart was prepared by C. S. McCamy of the NBS Photographic Research Section.

ANOTHER NBS PUBLICATION OF INTEREST TO PHOTOGRAPHERS

Method for Determining the Resolving Power of Lenses (NBS Circular 533) provides the photographer with two sets of charts by which the resolving power of a photographic lens may be numerically measured. The accompanying booklet gives a

detailed description of the procedure and technique to be followed in order that comparable values may be obtained by different observers.

	IN THE COURT OF APPEALS

	FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

	AT AMARILLO

	PANEL A

	AUGUST 9, 2006

	______________________________

	LAURA JOHNSON WALKER, APPELLANT

	V.

	THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE

	_________________________________

	FROM THE 396TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY;

	NO. 0916867D; HONORABLE GEORGE GALLAGHER, JUDGE

	_______________________________

Before REAVIS and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.

	MEMORANDUM OPINION

	Appellant was indicted in a three count indictment alleging murder, aggravated kidnaping and aggravated robbery.  The indictment contained an enhancement paragraph alleging one prior felony conviction.  Appellant pleaded guilty without a plea bargain and was sentenced to 35 years confinement in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Corrections.  We affirm.

	Appellant’s attorney has filed an Anders brief and a motion to withdraw.  Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed. 2d 498 (1967).  In support of his motion to withdraw, counsel certifies he has diligently reviewed the record, and in his opinion, the record reflects no reversible error upon which an appeal can be predicated.  Id. at 744-45.  In compliance with High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 813 (Tex.Crim.App. 1978), counsel has candidly discussed why, under the controlling authorities, there is no error in the trial court’s judgment.  Additionally, counsel has certified that he has provided appellant a copy of the Anders brief and motion to withdraw and appropriately advised appellant of her right to file a pro se response in this matter.  Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex.Crim.App. 1991).  The court has also advised appellant of her right to file a pro se response.  Appellant has not filed a response.

	By his Anders brief, counsel raises grounds that could arguably support an appeal.  We have reviewed these grounds and made an independent review of the entire record to determine whether there are any arguable grounds which might support an appeal.  See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988); Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005).  We have found no such ground and agree with counsel that the appeal is frivolous.

	Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is hereby granted and the trial court’s judgment is affirmed.
