Opinion
December 3, 1992
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County, Herbert Adlerberg, J., Dorothy Cropper, J.
In seeking to be relieved in accordance with People v Saunders (supra), assigned appellate counsel has submitted a perfunctory brief, devoid of facts regarding the crime or the circumstances of the arrest, and conclusory in its statement that there are no non-frivolous issues which might arguably support the appeal. While we express no opinion with respect to the merits, or lack thereof, of any possible issue, counsel's submission is inadequate to demonstrate that a conscientious examination of the record and the applicable law has been performed (see, People v Gonzalez, 47 N.Y.2d 606; People v Carroll, 72 A.D.2d 710).
Concur — Murphy, P.J., Ellerin, Kupferman, Kassal and Rubin, JJ.
