Corp., 9 AD3d at 56, quoting Gordon v Ford Motor Co., 260 AD2d 164, 165 [1999]; see CLC/CFI Liquidating Trust v Bloomingdale’s, Inc., 50 AD3d 446, 447 [2008]), Supreme Court was warranted in determining that a class action is not a superior means for resolving this claim (see CPLR 901 [a] [5]). 6 We reach a different conclusion, however, with respect to the General Business Law § 349 claim of the “Spending Limit Class.” Here, every customer who enrolled in the Spending Limit Program received a “Spending Limit Checklist” that incorporated the applicable monthly fee into the parties�…

Application by appellant’s counsel to withdraw as counsel is granted. (See, Anders v California, 386 US 738; People v Saunders, 52 AD2d 833.) We have reviewed this record and agree with appellant’s assigned counsel that there are no non-frivolous points which could be raised on this appeal.

Pursuant to CPL 460.20, defendant has the right to apply for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals by making application to the Chief Judge of that Court and by submitting such application to the Clerk of that Court or to a Justice of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of this Department on reasonable notice to the respondent within thirty (30) days after service of a copy of this order, with notice of entry.

Denial of the application for permission to appeal by the Judge or Justice first applied to is final and no new application may thereafter be made to any other Judge or Justice. Concur — Ellerin, P. J., Tom, Wallach and Saxe, JJ.
