People State New York v. Federico Gonzalez

Has an indigent criminal defendant been deprived of his constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel where the attorney appointed to handle his appeal files a "brief" that summarizes the evidence, states "that in the opinion of the writer there were no points to be raised" on appeal, and then sets forth four point headings stating the points defendant desired to have presented, but advances no argument in support of any of the points? We hold that he has been and therefore reverse and remit for a de novo appeal.
