OPINION OF THE COURT

Stephen G. Crane, J.

This case represents the first effort by the Attorney-. General of the State of New York to have the criminal sanctions of the Martin Act,1 section 352-c of the General Business Law, applied to what the parties refer to as “insider trading.”2 The defendant moves under CPL 170.30 (subd 1, pars [a], [f]) and 170.35 (subd 1, par [c]) to dismiss the misdemeanor information on the grounds that the law *693allegedly violated, section 352-c of the General Business Law, does not apply to insider trading and the statute, as applied, is unconstitutional.
