By: Higgitt, J.P., Brigantti, Hagler, JJ. 15-259. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, res, v. ROMANY HENEEN, def-app — Judgment of conviction (Laura E. Drager, J.), rendered March 1, 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 (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]). All concur. THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.

By: Higgitt, J.P., Brigantti, Hagler, JJ. 15-296. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, res, v. ANTON BIRCH, def-app — Judgment of conviction (Herbert J. Adlerberg, J.H.O.), rendered February 3, 2015, affirmed. The information charging disorderly conduct (see Penal Law §240.20) was not jurisdictionally defective. Nonhearsay allegations established every element of the offense and defendant’s commission thereof (see CPL 100.40[1][c]; People v. Middleton, 35 NY3d 952, 954 [2020]). Defendant’s intent to cause public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly create a risk thereof (see People v. Weaver, 16 NY3d 123, 128 [2011]) could be readily inferred from allegations that he refused to comply with the routine magnetometer search procedure at the Bronx County Criminal Court building on a specified weekday afternoon during the hours of court; used obscene and abusive language, i.e., “Why you going through my shit. This is bullshit. Fuck this shit;” and “refused to comply with several lawful orders to refrain from the disruptive conduct, to comply with the voluntary search or vacate the area” (see People v. Lee, 55 Misc 3d 138[A], 2017 NY Slip Op 50521[U] [App Term, 1st Dept 2017], lv denied 29 NY3d 1092 [2017]; see also Matter of Monique Elizabeth J. v. Orlandro D., 145 AD3d 557 [2016], lv denied 29 NY3d 901 [2017]; Norasteh v. State of New York, 44 AD3d 576 [2007], lv denied 10 NY3d 709 [2008]; People v. Clarke, 34 Misc 3d 159[A], 2012 NY Slip Op 50438[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2012], lv denied 19 NY3d 958 [2012]). All concur. THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
