    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Paul Matthews, Appellant.
    [698 NYS2d 520]
   —Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Kron, J.), rendered May 12, 1998, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the third 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; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631; cf., People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606). Mangano, P. J., Ritter, Joy, McGinity and Smith, JJ., concur.
