    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Alton Hilts, Appellant.
    [62 NYS3d 826]
   Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Rensselaer County (Young, J.), rendered February 11, 2015, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree.

Defendant pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree and waived his right to appeal. He was sentenced as a second felony offender, in accordance with the plea agreement, to a prison term of 4V2 years, followed by two years of postrelease supervision, to run concurrently with a sentence he was currently serving. Defendant appeals.

Appellate counsel seeks to be relieved of her assignment of representing defendant on the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues that can be raised on appeal. Based upon our review of the record and counsel’s brief, we agree. Therefore, the judgment is affirmed and counsel’s request for leave to withdraw is granted (see People v Cruwys, 113 AD2d 979, 980 [1985], lv denied 67 NY2d 650 [1986]; see generally People v Stokes, 95 NY2d 633 [2001]).

Peters, P.J., Rose, Devine, Clark and Pritzker, JJ., concur.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
