[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,

v

Paul Perez, appellant. (S.C.I. No. 13-0885)

John R. Lewis, Sleepy Hollow, NY, for appellant.

James A. McCarty, Acting District Attorney, White Plains, NY (Laurie Sapakoff of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Cacace, J.), rendered March 4, 2014, convicting him of failure to register or verify as a sex offender, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v California (386 U.S. 738), in which he moves for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant.

ORDERED that the judgment is 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 appeal. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted (see Anders v California, 386 U.S. 738; Matter of Giovanni S. [Jasmin A.], 89 AD3d 252; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606).

HALL, J.P., AUSTIN, MILLER and MALTESE, JJ., concur.
