Opinion
MEMORANDUM:Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting her upon her plea of guilty of unlawfully dealing with a child in the first degree (Penal Law § 260.20[2] ). As we concluded on the appeal of defendant's husband and codefendant (People v. Frysinger, 111 A.D.3d 1397, 974 N.Y.S.2d 860 ), County Court erred in denying defendant's motion to vacate her guilty plea insofar as it challenged the factual sufficiency of the plea allocution (see People v. Lopez, 71 N.Y.2d 662, 665, 529 N.Y.S.2d 465, 525 N.E.2d 5 ). “Defendant was expressly charged with the act of providing alcoholic beverages to persons under 21 years of age, but during the brief factual colloquy at the plea proceeding [s]he never admitted that [s]he provided alcohol” (Frysinger, 111 A.D.3d at 1398, 974 N.Y.S.2d 860 ). In view of our decision, we do not address defendant's remaining contentions.
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously reversed on the law, the plea and the waiver of indictment are vacated, and the matter is remitted to Steuben County Court for further proceedings.
