SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE TERM, FIRST DEPARTMENT
PRESENT: Brigantti, J.P., Tisch, Michael, JJ.
570333/18

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

against

Afm S. Uddin, Defendant-Appellant.

Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Barbara F. Newman, J.H.O.), rendered May 2, 2018, convicting him, upon his plea of guilty, of violating Public Health Law § 229, and imposing sentence.

Per Curiam.

Judgment of conviction (Barbara F. Newman, J.H.O.), rendered May 2, 2018, reversed, on the law, accusatory instrument dismissed, and fine remitted.

The record fails to establish that defendant understood the nature of the offense to which he was pleading, and that his plea was knowing, intelligent and voluntary (see People v Conceicao, 26 NY3d 375, 383-384 [2015]). Inasmuch as defendant has served his sentence, we dismiss the accusatory instrument in lieu of ordering a new trial. We note that the People have declined to submit a respondent's brief on this appeal.

All concur

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
