The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Taysier ABISJRAIKH, Defendant-Appellant.
Judgment of conviction (Alexander W. Hunter, Jr., J.H.O.), rendered December 18, 2017, reversed, on the law, accusatory instrument dismissed, and fine, if paid, remitted.
The record fails to support the conclusion that defendant's guilty plea was knowing, intelligent and voluntary, because the court accepted the plea without addressing any of the constitutional rights defendant was waiving, and there are not sufficient circumstances reflecting his consultation with counsel (see People v Conceicao, 26 NY3d 375, 383-85 [2015]; People v Tyrell, 22 NY3d 359, 365-366 [2013]). As no respondent's brief is submitted, and no indication given in the record as to why dismissal is not the appropriate corrective action in this particular case, we dismiss the accusatory instrument in lieu of ordering a new trial.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
Per Curiam.
