People v. Ward

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Angiolillo, J.), rendered September 21, 1994, convicting him of murder in the second degree and rape in the first 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, 4ÍJ NY2d 606). Balletta, J. P., Rosenblatt, Pizzuto, Joy and Altman, JJ., concur.
