The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Jonathan Witherspoon, Appellant.

—[*1] Richard L. Herzfeld, New York, N.Y., for appellant.

Janet DiFiore, District Attorney, White Plains, N.Y. (Lois Cullen Valerio and Anthony J. Servino of counsel; Michelle K. Bernstein on the brief), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Cacace, J.), rendered February 11, 2008, convicting him of attempted robbery in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

We have reviewed the record and agree with the defendant's assigned counsel that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on appeal. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is granted (see Anders v California, 386 US 738 [1967]; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631 [1976]; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606 [1979]). Rivera, J.P., Dillon, Covello and Eng, JJ., concur.
