People v. Verdile

Upon this Court’s independent review of the record, we conclude that nonfrivolous issues exist, including, but not limited to, whether the defendant’s plea allocution was sufficient (see People v Lopez, 71 NY2d 662 [1988]). Accordingly, assignment of new counsel is warranted (see People v Stokes, 95 NY2d 633, 638 [2001]). Rivera, J.P, Miller, Leventhal and Chambers, JJ., concur.
