New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Matthew Jones, Appellant
November 20, 20079 N.Y.3d 259
Summary
The Court held that the information charging disorderly conduct was facially insufficient because it failed to allege a prima facie case under CPL 100.40, and therefore reversed the conviction, vacated the judgment, and dismissed the information; consequently, the resisting‑arrest charge could not be reinstated.
