DECISION & ORDER Appeals by the defendant from two judgments of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Barry Kron, J.), both rendered July 20, 2016, convicting him of attempted robbery in the third degree under Indictment No. 124/15, and criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree under Indictment No. 1350/15, upon his pleas of guilty, and imposing sentences. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v California (386 US 738), in which he moves for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant. ORDERED that the judgments are affirmed. We are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by the defendant's assigned counsel pursuant to Anders v California (386 US 738), and upon an independent review of the record, we conclude that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on the appeals. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted (see id.; People v Murray, _____ AD3d _____, 2019 NY Slip Op 01101 [2d Dept 2019]; Matter of Giovanni S.
