Lisa A. Burgess, Indian Lake, for appellant. Andrew J. Wylie, District Attorney, Plattsburgh (Jaime A. Douthat of counsel), for respondent. Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Clinton County (Keith M. Bruno, J.), rendered August 16, 2022, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of attempted promoting prison contraband in the first degree. In full satisfaction of a two-count indictment, defendant was permitted to plead guilty to the reduced charge of attempted promoting prison contraband in the first degree with the understanding that he would be sentenced as a second felony offender to a prison term of 1 1/2 to 3 years — said sentence to run consecutively to the prison term defendant then was serving. The plea agreement also required defendant to waive his right to appeal. Defendant pleaded guilty as outlined in the plea agreement, and County Court imposed the agreed-upon term of imprisonment. This appeal ensued. Appellate counsel seeks to be relieved of the assignment of representing defendant upon the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues to be raised on appeal. Based upon our review of the record and counsel’s brief, we agree. Accordingly, the judgment of conviction is affirmed, and counsel’s request for leave to withdraw is granted (see People v. Cruwys, 113 AD2d 979, 980 [3d Dept 1985], lv denied 67 NY2d 650 [1986]; see generally People v. Beaty, 22 NY3d 490 [2014]; People v. Stokes, 95 NY2d 633 [2001]).[1] Aarons, J.P., Pritzker, Ceresia, Fisher and Mackey, JJ., concur. ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, application to be relieved of assignment granted and matter remitted to the County Court of Clinton County for entry of an amended uniform sentence and commitment form.
