    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Raymond Rickman, Appellant.
   — Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Cohen, J.), rendered June 19, 1986, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a hypodermic instrument, upon a jury verdict, 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 meritorious 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).

We have considered the issues raised by the defendant in his supplemental pro se brief and find them to be without merit. Weinstein, J. P., Rubin, Kooper and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
