MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of assault in the third degree ( Penal Law § 120.00 [1 ] ). We affirm. The record does not support defendant's contention that the People moved to dismiss the indictment in the furtherance of justice pursuant to CPL 210.40. Thus, contrary to defendant's further contention, reversal is not warranted on the ground that there was no valid accusatory instrument upon which to convict him.
