THE WAIVER OF INDICTMENT IS JURISDICTIONALLY DEFECTIVE FOR FAILURE TO INCLUDE THE APPROXIMATE TIME OF EACH OFFENSE (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department, reversing defendant’s conviction by guilty plea, determined the waiver of indictment was jurisdictionally defective for failure state the approximate time of each offense:

A jurisdictionally valid waiver of indictment must contain, inter alia, the “approximate time” of each offense charged in the superior court information (SCI) … . That requirement is strictly enforced … . ” [S]ubstantial compliance will not be tolerated’ ” … . Here, the waiver of indictment does not contain the approximate time of the offense … . Inasmuch as the SCI also does not contain that information, we need not consider whether to adopt the so-called “single document” rule … . We therefore reverse the judgment, vacate the plea and waiver of indictment, and dismiss the SCI … . People v Denis, 2019 NY Slip Op 08047, Fourth Dept 11-8-19
