11-406/407. THE PEOPLE, res, v. BAI KAMARA, def-app — Judgment of conviction under docket number 2010CN006364 (James M. Burke, J.), rendered March 23, 2011, affirmed. Judgment of conviction under docket number 2010CN000951 (James M. Burke, J.), rendered March 23, 2011, reversed, on the law, and the accusatory instrument is dismissed.

We find unavailing defendant’s present challenge to the facial sufficiency of the accusatory instrument charging him with unlicensed general vending under Docket No. 2010CN006364. The information — comprising the misdemeanor complaint and the supporting deposition of the arresting officer — alleges that at a specified time and street location defendant, lacking the requisite license, “display[ed] and offer[ed] for sale 10 sunglasses,” and “show[ed] the merchandise to numerous people.” At the pleading stage, these allegations, “given a fair and not overly restrictive or technical reading” (see People v. Casey, 95 NY2d 354, 360 [2000]), were “sufficiently evidentiary in character” (People v. Allen, 92 NY2d 378, 385 [1998]) to support the sale or offer for sale element of the charged offense (see Administrative Code of City of N.Y. §20-453; People v. Kasse, 22 NY3d 1142 [2014]; People v. Abdurraheem, 94 AD3d 569 [2012], lv denied 19 NY3d 970 [2012]; People v. Guo Zhang, 14 Misc 3d 82 [2007], lv denied 8 NY3d 951 [2007]).
