Opinion
570403/09.
Decided December 16, 2010.
Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Marc Whiten, J.), rendered October 27, 2008, convicting him, upon a plea of guilty, of disorderly conduct, and imposing sentence.
Judgment of conviction (Marc Whiten, J.), rendered October 27, 2008, affirmed.
PRESENT: Schoenfeld, J.P., Shulman, Hunter, Jr., JJ.
We find unavailing defendant's challenge to the facial sufficiency of the underlying information. The allegations that defendant was driving a vehicle "which had a Federal Law Enforcement vehicle identification permit openly displayed on its dashboard" that referred to an agency "that does not exist," were sufficient, for pleading purposes ( see generally People v Kalin , 12 NY3d 225 ), to establish both reasonable cause to believe defendant committed third-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument and a prima facie case of defendant's commission of that offense ( see Penal Law 170.20; People v Martell, 91 NY2d 782; People v Makwana , 17 Misc 3d 296 ).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
I concur
