Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Melvin Nieves, Appellant.
[756 NYS2d 917]

Opinion:
Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Franklin County (Main, Jr., J.), rendered June 25, 2001, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of attempted promoting prison contraband in the first degree.
Defendant pleaded guilty to the crime of attempted promoting prison contraband in the first degree and was sentenced as a second felony offender in accordance with the negotiated plea agreement to a prison term of IV2 to 3 years to be served consecutive to a sentence he was currently serving. Defense counsel seeks to be relieved of his assignment as counsel for defendant on the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues that can be raised on appeal. Upon our review of the record and defense counsel's brief, we agree. The judgment is, accordingly, affirmed and defense counsel's application for leave to withdraw is granted (see People v Cruwys, 113 AD2d 979 [1985], lv denied 67 NY2d 650 [1986]; see generally People v Stokes, 95 NY2d 633 [2001]).
Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Spain, Carpinello and Rose, JJ. concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
