Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that the court lacked jurisdiction to accept his guilty plea in the absence of the filing, by the prosecutor, of a special information pursuant to CPL 200.60 alleging a prior conviction. We disagree. The prosecutor's failure was merely a procedural defect or irregularity which was waived by the defendant's voluntary guilty plea (see, People v. Gill, 109 A.D.2d 419; People v. Guiliano, 52 A.D.2d 240).
We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Bracken, J.P., Lawrence, Eiber, Harwood and Rosenblatt, JJ., concur.
