Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Adrian Melendez, Appellant.
[620 NYS2d 946]

Opinion:
—Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Robert Cohen, J.), rendered September 18, 1992, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted burglary in the second degree, and sentencing him, as a persistent violent felony offender, to a term of 6 years to life, unanimously affirmed.
Application by appellant's counsel to withdraw as counsel is granted (see, Anders v California, 386 US 738; People v Saunders, 52 AD2d 833). We have reviewed this record and agree with appellant's assigned counsel that there are no nonfrivolous points which could be raised on this appeal. Since. appellant's waiver of his right to be prosecuted by indictment complied with the provisions of CPL 195.10 and 195.20, we find the issue raised in his pro se brief to be devoid of merit (People v Davis, 152 AD2d 634, lv denied 74 NY2d 846).
Pursuant to CPL 460.20 defendant has the right to apply for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals by making application to the Chief Judge of that Court and by submitting such application to the Clerk of that Court or to a Justice of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of this Department on reasonable notice to the respondent within 30 days after service of a copy of this order with notice of entry.
Denial of the application for permission to appeal by the Judge or Justice first applied to is final and no new application may thereafter be made to any other Judge or Justice. Concur—Ellerin, J. P., Kupferman, Williams and Tom, JJ.
