Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Nicholas Penepent, Appellant.
(Appeal No. 2.)

Opinion:
— Case held, decision reserved, motion to relieve counsel of assignment granted and new counsel to be assigned. Memorandum: Based on his plea of guilty, defendant was sentenced to a term of imprisonment to run concurrently with the sentence based on the conviction in his first appeal, treated herewith. Thus, should the appeal from the first conviction result in a reversal, it may entitle defendant to withdraw his guilty plea in this case (see, People v Fuggazzatto, 62 NY2d 862). Therefore, we grant counsel's motion to be relieved of his assignment and we assign new counsel to perfect the appeal.
