Opinion

The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Tony Russo, Also Known as Alfonso Rizzutto, Appellant. [770 NYS2d 654] [MAJORITY] Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Ort, J.), rendered July 5, 2000, convicting him of obstructing governmental administration by means of a self-defense spray device, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed. We have reviewed the record and agree with the defendant’s assigned counsel that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on appeal. Counsel’s application for leave to withdraw as counsel is granted (see Anders v California, 386 US 738 [1967]; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631 [1976]; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606 [1979]). Florio, J.P., Krausman, Luciano, Townes and Rivera, JJ, concur.
