    The People of the State of New York ex rel. Leroy Peoples, Appellant, v New York State Department of Correctional Services, Respondent.
    [967 NYS2d 848]
   The case is held, the decision is reserved, the motion to relieve counsel of assignment is granted and new counsel is to be assigned. Memorandum: Petitioner appeals from a judgment of Supreme Court that denied his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Assigned counsel for petitioner moves to be relieved of the assignment on the ground that there are no appealable issues (see People v Crawford, 71 AD2d 38 [1979]). Upon a review of the record, we conclude that a nonfrivolous issue exists as to whether Supreme Court erred in denying the petition (see People ex rel. Keitt v McMann, 18 NY2d 257 [1966]). We therefore relieve counsel of his assignment and assign new counsel to brief this issue, as well as any other issues that counsel’s review of the record may disclose.
