Opinion

The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v J.W. Hamilton, Appellant. [624 NYS2d 916] [MAJORITY] —Appeal by the defendant from two judgments of the County Court, Orange County (Paño Z. Patsalos, J.), both rendered November 8, 1993, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree under Indictment No. 93-00235 and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree under S.C.I. No. 93-00416, upon his pleas of guilty, and imposing sentences. Ordered that the judgments are 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; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631; cf., People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606). Balletta, J. P., Thompson, Santucci, Altman and Hart, JJ., concur.
