Decided on February 18, 2009
APPELLATE TERM OF THE SUPREME COURT, FIRST DEPARTMENT

PRESENT: McKeon, P.J., Schoenfeld, Heitler, JJ
570071/08.

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

against

Wan Yu Li, Defendant-Appellant.


Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Alfred Kleinman, J.H.O.), rendered July 16, 2007, after a nonjury trial, convicting him of violating Vehicle and Traffic Law


§ 401(7)(F)(b), and imposing sentence.
Per Curiam.

Judgment of conviction (Alfred Kleinman, J.H.O.), rendered July 16, 2007, reversed, on the law, and accusatory instrument dismissed.

As the People concede, defendant's conviction must be vacated in view of the absence of any record indication that defendant consented to a trial before a Judicial Hearing Officer (see CPL 350.20[1]; People v Holt, 182 Misc 2d 919, 920 [1999]). Inasmuch as defendant has already served his sentence, we dismiss the accusatory instrument, a
disposition consented to by the People.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
