Dkt. C/ The People of the State of New York, / Respondent, v. Randy U. Ruiz, also known as Vladimir Ruiz, Defendant–Appellant.

2615– 6617 8 11 2616 9654C 12

Decided: January 03, 2017

Saxe, J.P., Moskowitz, Gische, Kahn, Gesmer, JJ.

Seymour W. James, Jr., The Legal Aid Society, New York (Adrienne M. Gantt of counsel), for appellant. Darcel D. Clark, District Attorney, Bronx (Dmitriy Povazhuk of counsel), for respondent.

Judgments, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Ann M. Donnelly, J.), rendered February 28, 2012, convicting defendant, upon his pleas of guilty, of two counts of making graffiti, and sentencing him to an aggregate term of a conditional discharge with 15 days of community service, unanimously affirmed.

The informations were facially sufficient because they established by direct and circumstantial non-hearsay evidence every element of the offense of making graffiti (see CPL 100.40[1]; People v. Kalin, 12 NY3d 225 [2009]; People v. Borrero, 26 N.Y.2d 430 [1970] ). The factual allegations gave defendant enough notice to prepare a defense and were sufficiently detailed to prevent him from being tried twice for the same offenses (see People v. Casey, 95 N.Y.2d 354 [2000] ).

Defendant is not aggrieved by alleged defects in charges of which he was not convicted.
