GEORGE C. PRATT, Circuit Judge,
dissenting:
Desirable as it might be from the point of view of administering criminal cases in the state courts, I do not believe that the “statute of frauds” rule adopted by the New York State Court of Appeals and approved by the majority is permissible under Santobello v. New York, 404 U.S. 257, 92 S.Ct. 495, 30 L.Ed.2d 427 (1971), and Blackledge v. Allison, 431 U.S. 63, 97 S.Ct. 1621, 52 L.Ed.2d 136 (1977). Therefore, I respectfully dissent.
