    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Michael Prashad, Appellant.
    [665 NYS2d 920]
   —Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Berry, J.), rendered December 16, 1996, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth 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). Miller, J. P., Ritter, Sullivan, Santucci and McGinity, JJ., concur.
