[U] People V. Gonzalez

Defendant is charged in an information with Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree, a class A misdemeanor, and related offenses. The case is pending in the Supreme Court and he has moved for an order dismissing the information on the grounds that CPL §§ 210.05 and 10.20 (2) prevent the Supreme Court from prosecuting the case and also that the administrative transfer of all unindicted misdemeanor charges in Bronx County to the Criminal Division of the Bronx County Supreme Court violates defendant's equal protection rights. Defendant's challenge stems from the recent transfer of his case and all pending and future misdemeanor cases from the Criminal Court, Bronx County, to the newly-created Criminal Division of Supreme Court, Bronx County, pursuant to a series of administrative orders.
