Opinion

The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Amin Thomas, Appellant. [979 NYS2d 546] [MAJORITY] Defendant pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, waived his right to appeal and was sentenced as a second drug/violent felony offender to an agreed-upon prison term of 4x/2 years, followed by two years of postrelease supervision. Defendant appeals. Based upon our review of the record and counsel’s brief, we agree with appellate counsel that there are no nonfrivolous issues to be raised on appeal. Therefore, the judgment is affirmed and counsel’s request 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]). Rose, J.P., Lahtinen, McCarthy and Garry, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
