14-288. THE PEOPLE, res, v. IGOR BUCHOVSKY, def-app — Judgment of conviction under docket number 2013NY000542 (Laurie Peterson, J.), rendered November 25, 2013, affirmed. Judgment of conviction under docket number 2013NY000462 (Laurie Peterson, J.), rendered November 25, 2013, reversed, on the law, and the accusatory instrument is dismissed.

Defendant’s guilty plea was knowing, intelligent and voluntary. At the plea proceeding, defendant knowingly acknowledged his desire to plead guilty; admitted the details of his crime; and acknowledged his understanding of the rights he was waiving by pleading guilty, including the right to a jury trial, the right to remain silent and the right to cross-examine witnesses against him (see People v. Conceicao, 26 NY3d 375, 382 [2015]; People v. Sougou, 26 NY3d 1052, 1054 [2015]). There is nothing in the record to indicate that defendant, who was represented by active and able counsel, did not understand the nature of the charge to which he was pleading guilty (see People v. Muncey, 214 AD2d 432, 433 [1995], lv denied, 86 NY2d 783 [1995]).
