Judgment of the Supreme Court, Bronx County, rendered January 3, 1977, unanimously affirmed. Application by appellant's counsel pursuant to Anders v California ( 386 U.S. 738) and People v Saunders ( 52 A.D.2d 833), to withdraw as counsel denied. Counsel has argued the merits and urged reversal herein. The procedure of People v Saunders (supra) is therefore, unavailable (People v Shaw, 59 A.D.2d 873).
