Opinion
June 8, 2000.
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Vincent Quattrochi, J.), rendered March 5, 1998, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 4 1/2 to 9 years, unanimously affirmed.
John M. Moreira, for respondent.
John Gemmill, for defendant-appellant.
Before: Williams, J.P., Mazzarelli, Lerner, Andrias, Friedman, JJ.
Defendant's challenges to his waiver of indictment and prosecution by superior court information involve, at most, nonjurisdictional defects of form, which were unpreserved, as well as forfeited by his valid guilty plea (People v. George, 261 A.D.2d 711, 93 N.Y.2d 1018). In any event, defendant's waiver of indictment and superior court information, constituting a single document, satisfied the requirements of CPL 195.20 (see, People v. Lamoni, 230 A.D.2d 628, lv denied 89 N.Y.2d 925).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
