DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Collini, J.), rendered May 28, 2009, convicting him of identity theft in the first degree (two counts), upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v California (386 US 738), in which she moves for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant.

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; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606).
DILLON, J.P., BALKIN, LEVENTHAL and BELEN, JJ., concur.
