[*1]The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Caleb A. Casteline, Appellant.

Calendar Date:February 10, 2023
Before:Garry, P.J., Lynch, Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Fisher, JJ.

John R. Trice, Elmira, for appellant.

Michael A. Korchak, District Attorney, Binghamton (Geoffrey B. Rossi of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Broome County (Kevin P. Dooley, J.), rendered January 28, 2021, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of manslaughter in the first degree.

In satisfaction of a four-count indictment, defendant pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of manslaughter in the first degree and agreed to waive his right to appeal. County Court sentenced defendant, in accordance with the terms of the plea agreement, to a prison term of 20 years followed by five years of postrelease supervision. Defendant appeals.

Appellate counsel seeks to be relieved of his assignment of representing defendant on the ground that there are no nonfrivolous issues that may be raised on appeal. Based upon our review of the record and counsel's brief, we agree. Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed and counsel's request for leave to withdraw is granted (see People v Cruwys, 113 AD2d 979, 980 [3d Dept 1985], lv denied 67 NY2d 650 [1986]; see generally People v Beaty, 22 NY3d 490 [2014]; People v Stokes, 95 NY2d 633 [2001]).

Garry, P.J., Lynch, Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Fisher, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, and application to be relieved of assignment granted.
