Appeal from Judgment of Ontario County Court, Henry, Jr., J. — Forgery, 2nd Degree.
Judgment unanimously affirmed.
PRESENT: GREEN, J. P., HAYES, SCUDDER AND BALIO, JJ.
Memorandum:
Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting her, inter alia, of forgery in the second degree (Penal Law § 170.10) and criminal impersonation in the second degree (Penal Law § 190.25). Contrary to defendant's contention, those counts are jurisdictionally sufficient. They refer to the statutes by name and section and allege each element of the offenses and defendant's commission thereof, tracking the language of the statutes ( see, People v. Cohen, 52 N.Y.2d 584, 586; People v. Sledge, 223 A.D.2d 922, 923, lv denied 88 N.Y.2d 854; People v. Gerber, 182 A.D.2d 252, 266-267, lv denied 80 N.Y.2d 1026). The further contention that those counts are deficient because they fail to meet the requirements of CPL 200.50 was waived by defendant's guilty plea ( see, People v. Cohen, supra, at 587; see also, People v. Iannone, 45 N.Y.2d 589, 600-601).
