Casey, J.
After waiving indictment, defendant entered a plea of guilty to the single charge of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree contained in a superior court information which alleged that at a certain time and place defendant possessed a firearm in violation of Penal Law § 265.02 (1). On appeal, defendant contends that the superior court information was jurisdictionally defective due to the absence of an allegation that the firearm was operable. A superior court information is subject to the same rules as an indictment (CPL 200.15). Using the language of the statute which defines the crime of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, the instrument at issue alleged where, when and what defendant did and, therefore, notified defendant of the crime of which he stood accused (see, People v. Iannone, 45 N.Y.2d 589, 598-599). We are of the view that defendant's objection is, at most, related to the sufficiency of the factual allegations, as opposed to a failure to allege every material element of the crime, and, therefore, the objection did not survive his guilty plea (see, supra, at 600-601).
Cardona, P.J., White and Peters, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
