The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Jerrell WILLIAMS, Defendant-Appellant.
Per Curiam.
Judgment of conviction (Joanne B. Watters, J.), rendered October 13, 2017, affirmed.
The accusatory instrument was not jurisdictionally defective. Allegations that defendant was behind the steering wheel of a car with its motor running satisfied the operation element of the Vehicle and Traffic Law offense to which he pleaded guilty (see People v. Alamo , 34 NY2d 453, 458-459 [1974] ; People v. Almanzar , 113 AD3d 527 [2014], lv denied 23 NY3d 1059 [2014] ).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
