Bernard Washington, appellant.




John Brian Macreery, Katonah, N.Y., for appellant.

Janet DiFiore, District Attorney, White Plains, N.Y. (Laurie Sapakoff, Steven Bender, and Richard Longworth Hecht of counsel), for respondent.



DECISION & ORDER

Appeals by the defendant from two judgments of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Molea, J.), both rendered May 3, 2012, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree under Indictment No. 11-01415, and robbery in the third degree under Superior Court Information No. 12-00248, upon his pleas of guilty, and imposing sentences.

ORDERED that the judgments are affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the superior court information pursuant to which he entered his plea of guilty was not jurisdictionally defective (cf. People v Zanghi , 79 NY2d 815; People v Boston , 75 NY2d 585).

The defendant's arguments regarding the judgment of conviction of criminal posession of a controlled substance in the third degree under Indictment No. 11-01415 are without merit.

DILLON, J.P., HALL, ROMAN and COHEN, JJ., concur.
