THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK v. RAYMOND SNYDER (2011)

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Calendar Date:  November 29, 2010

Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Ulster County (Bruhn, J.), rendered October 23, 2008, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree.

In satisfaction of a one-count indictment, defendant pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree.   In accordance with the plea agreement, he was sentenced as a second felony offender to 21/212 years in prison to be followed by two years of postrelease supervision.   Defendant appeals.

Appellate counsel seeks to be relieved of her assignment of representing defendant on the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues to be raised on appeal.   Upon reviewing the record and counsel's brief, we agree.   Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed and counsel's request for leave to withdraw is granted (see People v. Cruwys, 113 A.D.2d 979 [1985], lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 650 [1986];  see generally People v. Stokes, 95 N.Y.2d 633, 636 [2001] ).

Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Rose, Stein and McCarthy, JJ., concur.

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