Does a court's failure to give a defendant the warning required by section 335-b of the New York State Penal Code render the conviction void and subject to collateral attack?

We have already held that the court's failure to give a defendant charged with a violation of the traffic laws the warning [14 N.Y.2d 87] required by section 335-a of the code renders the conviction, entered upon a plea of guilty, void and subject to collateral attack. (See Matter of Hubbell v. Macduff, 2 N.Y.2d 563, 161 N.Y.S.2d 857, 141 N.E.2d 897.) This being so, it follows that noncompliance with the requirements of section 335-b, patterned after section 335-a and designed to operate in a far more serious area, must likewise render the conviction void and amenable to collateral attack by way of habeas corpus.
