APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1]

It is well established that hybrid offences are deemed indictable until
    the Crown elects otherwise. In this case the Crown elected to proceed by
    indictment. After being informed of his right to a jury trial, the appellant
    elected to be tried in the Ontario Court and pleaded guilty following a full
    guilty plea inquiry. The appellant has served his sentence. We see no basis on
    which to interfere with the convictions.

[2]

The appeal is dismissed.
