    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Ralph Arce, Appellant.
   Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Herold, J.), rendered August 29, 1988, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, 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). Bracken, J. P., Eiber, Balletta and Rosenblatt, JJ., concur.
