    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Chester Almonor, Appellant.
    [628 NYS2d 479]
   Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Daniel FitzGerald, J.), rendered on or about March 26, 1993, unanimously affirmed.

Application by appellant’s counsel to withdraw as counsel is granted. (See, Anders v California, 386 US 738; People v Saunders, 52 AD2d 833.) We have reviewed this record and agree with appellant’s assigned counsel that there are no non-frivolous points which could be raised on this appeal.

Pursuant to CPL 460.20, defendant has the right to apply for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals by making application to the Chief Judge of that Court and by submitting such application to the Clerk of that Court or to a Justice of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of this Department on reasonable notice to the respondent within thirty (30) days after service of a copy of this order, with notice of entry.

Denial of the application for permission to appeal by the Judge or Justice first applied to is final and no new application may thereafter be made to any other Judge or Justice.

We have considered the contentions raised in defendant’s pro se brief and find them to be without merit. In particular, assuming arguendo that Mr. Torres was a purported accomplice to the crime and testified falsely before the Grand Jury, there was no impairment of the Grand Jury proceedings since there was sufficient evidence, in the absence of Torres’ testimony, to establish a prima facie case of defendant’s commission of the crimes charged (People v Diaz, 209 AD2d 1; People v Avilla, 212 AD2d 800).
