SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE TERM, FIRST DEPARTMENT
PRESENT: Lowe, III, P.J., Schoenfeld, Ling-Cohan, JJ.
570053/16

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

against

Jordan Elmore, Defendant-Appellant.

Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Herbert J. Adlerberg, J.H.O), rendered October 27, 2015, convicting him, upon a plea of guilty, of disorderly conduct, and imposing sentence.

Per Curiam.

Judgment of conviction (Herbert J. Adlerberg, J.H.O), rendered October 27, 2015, reversed, on the law, accusatory instrument dismissed, and surcharge, if paid, remitted.

As the People concede, defendant's conviction must be vacated since the plea record lacks the requisite "affirmative showing" that defendant understood and waived his Boykin rights (see Boykin v Alabama, 395 US 238, 242 [1969]; People v Tyrell, 22 NY3d 359, 365 [2013]). The People also agree that dismissal of the accusatory instrument is the appropriate corrective action in this particular case (cf. People v Conceicao, 26 NY3d 375, n 1 [2015]).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
