DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Martin Efman, J.), rendered December 2, 2016, convicting him of attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant was charged by felony complaint with committing criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree under Penal Law § 220.09(1) on January 26, 2016. Superior Court Information No. 987/16 (hereinafter SCI) erroneously charged the defendant with committing criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree under Penal Law § 220.09(1) on February 26, 2016. The defendant waived his right to be prosecuted by an indictment and pleaded guilty under the SCI to attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree pursuant to Penal Law §§ 110.00 and 220.09(1). At the plea proceeding, the defendant admitted that the crime to which he pleaded guilty occurred on January 26, 2016.
Where a defendant waives the right to be prosecuted by indictment and consents to be prosecuted by a superior court information, the information "must either charge [the] defendant with the same crime as the felony complaint or a lesser included offense of that crime" ( People v. Pierce, 14 N.Y.3d 564, 571, 904 N.Y.S.2d 255, 930 N.E.2d 176 ). Here, taking into account the obvious typographical error in the SCI (see People v. June, 30 A.D.3d 1016, 1017, 817 N.Y.S.2d 799 ), the defendant was charged in...
