Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Kelly L. Keenan, Appellant.
[778 NYS2d 330]

Opinion:
Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of St. Lawrence County (Nicandri, J.), rendered March 17, 2003, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of sodomy in the first degree.
Defendant pleaded guilty to the crime of sodomy in the first degree and waived his right to appeal. Defendant was sentenced in accordance with the negotiated plea agreement to 8V2 years in prison followed by five years of postrelease supervision. On appeal, defense counsel seeks to be relieved of his assignment as counsel for defendant on the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues to be raised on appeal. Upon our review of the record, defense counsel's brief and defendant's pro se submission, we agree. Accordingly, the judgment is 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, Rose, Lahtinen and Kane, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
