PEOPLE v. ROCA (2026)

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, New York.

The PEOPLE, etc., respondent, v. William ROCA, appellant.

2023–08689, 2023–08690, 2023–08691, (Ind.Nos. 74315 /21, 73502 /22, 74489 /23)

Decided: October 07, 2026

FRANCESCA E. CONNOLLY, J.P., DEBORAH A. DOWLING, JANICE A. TAYLOR, PHILLIP HOM, JJ.

Patricia Pazner, New York, N.Y. (David P. Greenberg of counsel), for appellant. Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Morgan J. Dennehy of counsel;  Robert Ho on the brief), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeals by the defendant from three judgments of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Kim Petersen, J.), all rendered September 8, 2023, each convicting him of burglary in the third degree, upon his pleas of guilty, and imposing sentences.  Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v California (386 U.S. 738), in which she moves for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant.

ORDERED that the judgments are affirmed.

We are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by the defendant's assigned counsel pursuant to Anders v. California (386 U.S. 738), and, upon an independent review of the record, we conclude that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on the appeals.  Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted (see id.;  Matter of Giovanni S. [Jasmin A.], 89 AD3d 252).

CONNOLLY, J.P., DOWLING, TAYLOR and HOM, JJ., concur.
