People v. William QQ.
Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; November 12, 1997; New York; State Appellate Court
The appeal arises from a judgment by the County Court of Chemung County, which revoked the defendant's probation and imposed a prison sentence on September 11, 1995. Defense counsel seeks to withdraw from representing the defendant, asserting that no nonfrivolous issues exist for appeal. Upon reviewing the record and the defense counsel’s brief, the court concurs with this assessment. The defendant had entered a knowing, voluntary, and intelligent guilty plea for violating probation terms, leading to the revocation and sentencing, which adhered to the plea agreement and statutory requirements. Consequently, the court affirms the judgment and grants defense counsel's application to withdraw from the case. The decision was concurred by Justices Cardona, Mikoll, Mercure, Yesawich Jr., and Peters.
