Decided on August 18, 2009
APPELLATE TERM OF THE SUPREME COURT, FIRST DEPARTMENT
PRESENT: McKeon, P.J., Schoenfeld, Heitler, JJ
570413/08.

The People of the State of New York Respondent,

against

Patricia Williams, Defendant-Appellant

Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal

Court of the City of New York, New York County (Rita Mella, J.), rendered April 23, 2008, convicting her, upon her plea of guilty, of petit larceny, and imposing sentence.
Per Curiam.

Judgment of conviction (Rita Mella, J.), rendered April 23, 2008, affirmed.

We find unavailing defendant's present challenge to the facial sufficiency of the underlying information. The police allegations, inter alia, that defendant, in exchange for cash, "swipe[d] an unlimited ride Metrocard through the turnstile in order to allow [another] individual to enter the subway station beyond the turnstiles without permission or authority to do so," were sufficient, for pleading purposes, to establish prima facie defendant's commission of petit larceny (see Penal Law § 155.25; People v Zayas, 8 Misc 3d 879 [2005]; see and compare People v Dingle, 20 Misc 3d 379 [2008]).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
Decision Date: August 18, 2009
