Decided on December 30, 2014
SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE TERM, FIRST DEPARTMENT
PRESENT: Lowe, III, P.J., Schoenfeld, Hunter, Jr., JJ.
570718/12

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

against

Enrique Misiego, Defendant-Appellant.

Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Robert H. Straus, J.H.O.), rendered June 19, 2012, convicting him, upon a plea of guilty, of criminal trespass in the third degree, and imposing sentence.

Per Curiam.

Judgment of conviction (Robert H. Straus, J.H.O.), rendered June 19, 2012, reversed, on the law, accusatory instrument dismissed, and surcharge, if paid, remitted.

As the People now concede, defendant's conviction must be vacated since the plea record lacks the requisite "affirming showing" that defendant understood and waived his Boykin rights (see Boykin v Alabama, 395 US 238 [1969]; People v Tyrell, 22 NY3d 359 [2013]). Inasmuch as defendant has served his sentence, we dismiss the accusatory instrument in lieu of ordering a new trial, a disposition unopposed by the People.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
