Carpinello, J.
After waiving indictment, defendant entered a plea of guilty to criminal contempt in the first degree pursuant to Penal Law § 215.51 (c), the sole charge contained in a superior court information. On appeal, he contends that this information, which is subject to the same rules as an indictment (see, CPL 200.15; see also, People v. Fields, 208 A.D.2d 1050, lv denied 84 N.Y.2d 935), is jurisdictionally defective, an argument which is not precluded by his guilty plea or waiver of the right to appeal (see, e.g., People v. Hogabone, 278 A.D.2d 525; People v. George, 261 A.D.2d 711, lv denied 93 N.Y.2d 1018; People v. Diaz, 233 A.D.2d 777;People v. Roe, 191 A.D.2d 844). Inasmuch as the information fails to allege the labor dispute exception set forth in Penal Law § 215.50, we are constrained to conclude that it must be dismissed as jurisdictionally defective under recent precedent of this Court (see,People v. Kirkham, 273 A.D.2d 509; see also,People v. Peraza, 288 A.D.2d 689, 733 N.Y.S.2d 510;People v. Struts, 281 A.D.2d 655; People v. Hogabone, supra; People v. Bingham, 263 A.D.2d 611, lv denied 93 N.Y.2d 1014; but see, People v. D'Angelo, 284 A.D.2d 146).
Crew III, J.P., Peters, Spain and Mugglin, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the judgment is reversed, on the law, and superior court information dismissed.
