Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Richard D. Carruthers, J.), rendered November 3, 2015, convicting him, upon his plea of guilty, of theft of services, and imposing sentence.
Per Curiam.
Judgment of conviction (Richard D. Carruthers, J.), rendered November 3, 2015, reversed, on the law, the 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 [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 [2015]).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
