ATTEMPTED CRIMINAL POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE FOURTH DEGREE IS NOT A LESSER-INCLUDED OFFENSE OF CRIMINAL POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE FOURTH DEGREE; SUPERIOR COURT INFORMATION JURISDICTIONALLY DEFECTIVE.

The Second Department reversed defendant’s conviction (by guilty plea) because the Superior Court Information (SCI) to which defendant pled did not allege a lesser-included offense of an offense charged in the original felony complaint. Attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree is not a lesser-included offense of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree:

The single count in the SCI was not an “offense for which the defendant [had been] held for action of a grand jury” (CPL 195.20), in that it was not an offense charged in the felony complaint or a lesser-included offense of an offense charged in the felony complaint … . Attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree under Penal Law §§ 110.00 and 220.09(1) is not a lesser-included offense of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree under Penal Law § 220.09(3), because the former offense contains the element “narcotic drug” (Penal Law § 220.00[7]) that is not an element of the latter offense and, therefore, it is possible to commit the greater offense “without concomitantly committing, by the same conduct,” the lesser offense (CPL 1.20[37]…). Thus, the SCI upon which the defendant’s plea was based did not “include at least one offense that was contained in the felony complaint” or a lesser-included offense of an offense charged in the felony complaint … , and the SCI was jurisdictionally defective … . This defect survives the defendant’s failure to raise this claim in the County Court, his plea of guilty, and his waiver of the right to appeal … . People v Chacko, 2016 NY Slip Op 01689, 2nd Dept 3-9-16
