*879OPINION OF THE COURT
Steven Fisher, J.
On this motion, defendant John Carter seeks dismissal of the 14-count narcotics indictment pending against him. The issues presented involve the double jeopardy and due process implications of a misdemeanor guilty plea which the defendant entered in the Criminal Court four days after the indictment was voted and filed. The plea was accepted with the consent of an assistant prosecutor who, through an astounding failure of communication within the District Attorney’s office, was completely unaware that the indictment had been returned.
