Pincite

Opinion

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

against

Cherrelle Jones, Defendant-Appellant.

Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (John Cataldo, J.H.O.), rendered March 31, 2015, convicting her, upon a plea of guilty, of disorderly conduct, and imposing sentence.

Per Curiam.

Judgment of conviction (John Cataldo, J.H.O.), rendered March 31, 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 her 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]).
