People v. Abdullah

Summary

The Appellate Division, Second Department affirmed a judgment convicting Andrew Abdullah of unauthorized use of a vehicle following his guilty plea. The court granted assigned counsel's motion to withdraw under Anders v. California, finding no nonfrivolous issues upon independent review.

Holdings

1. The Anders brief was sufficient, and independent review of the record disclosed no nonfrivolous issue that could be raised on appeal; counsel's application for leave to withdraw was therefore granted.
2. The judgment convicting Abdullah of unauthorized use of a vehicle upon his guilty plea and imposing sentence was affirmed.

Questions Presented

1. Whether assigned appellate counsel's Anders brief was sufficient to support withdrawal.
2. Whether the record disclosed any nonfrivolous issue that could be raised on Abdullah's appeal.
3. Whether the judgment convicting Abdullah and imposing sentence should be affirmed.

Disposition
