Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Jay L. Weiner, J.), rendered May 20, 2019, convicting him, upon a plea of guilty, of unlicensed driving, and imposing sentence.
Per Curiam.
Judgment of conviction (Jay L. Weiner, J.), rendered May 20, 2019, affirmed.
The accusatory instrument was not jurisdictionally defective. Allegations that "the engine was running and defendant was behind the wheel on a public highway" satisfied the operation element of the charged Vehicle and Traffic Law offenses (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.
