A SUPERIOR COURT INFORMATION (SCI) FILED AFTER INDICTMENT IS A NULLITY (CT APP).

​The Court of Appeals noted that a superior court information (SCI) filed after indictment is a nullity:

A defendant may waive their constitutional right to grand jury presentment and indictment and proceed by SCI in accordance with the strict technical requirements of CPL 195.10 (2). Here, the SCI was filed after the grand jury indicted defendant and thus the SCI failed to comply with the statutory prerequisites. Accordingly, the SCI is a nullity and was properly dismissed (see CPL 195.10 [2] …). People v Solomon, 2023 NY Slip Op 02030, CtApp 4-20-23

Practice Point: A superior court information (SCI) filed after indictment is a nullity.
