People v. Conoscenti

New York District Court

Decided July 30, 1975PublishedCited by 21 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtLawrence Newmark, J.

The defendant was charged with a violation of Labor Law (§ 632, subd 1, par [a]).

Defendant plead not guilty and the matter proceeded to trial. After the start of the People’s case, the defendant moved to dismiss the unlabeled accusatory instrument claiming that it was a misdemeanor complaint and that because he was never advised of his right to be prosecuted by an information, under the authority of People v Weinberg (34 NY2d 429), the misdemeanor complaint must be dismissed.

If this accusatory instrument is a misdemeanor complaint, then defendant’s motion must be granted.
