1. ““Although the information is filed late it is not rendered void, but only subject to dismissal upon motion duly made unless good cause to the contrary is shown by affidavit. Sheridan v. Superior Court, 91 Ariz. 211 , 370 P.2d 949 (1962). Defendant made no move to dismiss the proceedings but on the contrary withdrew a plea of not guilty theretofore made and entered a plea of guilty. A defendant may effectively waive the requirements of these rules and, in fact, may find it to his advantage to do so. Defendant’s plea of guilty to the information, entered upon the advice of competent counsel, was a waiver of the irregularity of the day late filing since we have already determined such defect is non-jurisdictional.” State v. Sheppard, 2 Ariz.App. 242, 244 , 407 P.2d 783, 785 (1965).”

2. “«* * * [j]n view of the fact that he [defendant] pleaded guilty and did not question the sufficiency of the information by demur or otherwise * * * [b]y his plea of guilty he waived all irregularities in the proceedings up to that time and also any error in the information that did not go to the extent of rendering it absolutely void.” State v. Sparks, 97 Ariz. 358, 360 , 400 P.2d 586, 588 (1965).”
