Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Ayres, J.), rendered April 26, 2011, convicting him of assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493, in which he moves for leave to withdraw as counsel for the appellant.
ORDERED that new counsel shall serve and file a brief on behalf of the appellant within 90 days of the date of this decision and order and the People shall serve and file their brief within 120 days of the date of this decision and order; by prior decision and order of this Court, the defendant was granted leave to prosecute the appeal as a poor person, with the appeal to be heard on the original papers (including the certified transcript of the proceedings) and on the briefs of the parties, who were directed to file nine copies of their respective briefs and to serve one copy on each other.
Upon this Court's independent review of the record, we conclude that nonfrivolous issues exist, including, but not necessarily limited to, the validity of the defendant's waiver of his right to appeal and, if such waiver is found to be invalid, whether his plea allocution was sufficient ( see People v. Batista, 89 A.D.3d 1099, 1100, 933 N.Y.S.2d 585;People v. Stone, 82 A.D.3d 1272, 1273, 919 N.Y.S.2d 864;People v. Verdile, 69 A.D.3d 661, 661, 891...
