PRESENT: Ling-Cohan, J.P., Gonzalez, Cooper, JJ.
570214/14

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

against

Xinquan Wu, 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 February 4, 2014, convicting him, upon a plea of guilty, of disorderly conduct, and imposing sentence.

Per Curiam.

Judgment of conviction (Robert H. Straus, J.H.O.), rendered February 4, 2014, reversed on the law, accusatory instrument dismissed, and fine, 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 [1969]). 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, 385 n 1 [2015]).

In view of our disposition, we reach no other issue.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
