    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Rochester Ford, Appellant.
   Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Thorp, J.), rendered June 8, 1988, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree (two counts), 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 AB2d 631; cf, People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606). Thompson, J. R, Harwood, Balletta and Copertino, JJ., concur.
