PEOPLE v. CORNWALL (2005)

Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Franklin County (Main Jr., J.), rendered April 23, 2001, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of attempted assault in the second degree.

Defendant pleaded guilty to attempted assault in the second degree and waived his right to appeal all aspects of the judgment with the exception of the sentence.   While the plea agreement included the People's recommendation of a prison term of 1 1/212 to 3 years, defendant acknowledged that County Court made no sentencing commitment and defendant was informed of the sentencing range permitted by statute.   Thereafter, defendant was sentenced as a second felony offender to 1 3/434 to 3 1/212 years in prison to run consecutive to the sentence he was currently serving.   On appeal, defense counsel seeks to be relieved of his assignment as counsel for defendant on the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues that can be raised on appeal.   Upon our review of the record, defense counsel's brief and defendant's pro se submission, we agree.   The judgment is, accordingly, affirmed and defense counsel's application for leave to withdraw is granted (see People v. Cruwys, 113 A.D.2d 979, 493 N.Y.S.2d 653 [1985], lv. denied 67 N.Y.2d 650, 499 N.Y.S.2d 1046, 490 N.E.2d 562 [1986];  see generally People v. Stokes, 95 N.Y.2d 633, 722 N.Y.S.2d 217, 744 N.E.2d 1153 [2001] ).

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
