[*1]The People of the State of New York, Dkt. Respondent,

v

Luis A. Rosario, Defendant-Appellant.

Seymour W. James, Jr., The Legal Aid Society, New York (Mitchell J. Briskey of counsel), for appellant.

Darcel D. Clark, District Attorney, Bronx (Melanie A. Sarver of counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Margaret L. Clancy, J. at dismissal motion; Harold Adler, J. at plea and sentencing), rendered September 12, 2012, convicting defendant of disorderly conduct, and sentencing him to five days of community service, unanimously affirmed.

Because defendant waived prosecution by information, the accusatory instrument was only required to satisfy the reasonable cause requirement of a misdemeanor complaint (see People v Dumay, 23 NY3d 518, 522 [2014]). In any event, the superseding

information was sufficiently corroborated by supporting depositions that predated it, but referenced the initial information, which contained identical allegations.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
