| The People of the State of New York,
Respondent, v Jerome Dawson, Appellant. |
Jenay N. Guilford, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (David J. Klem of counsel), for appellant.
Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Robert Butlien of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (James M. Burke, J.), rendered
November 16, 2022, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted assault
in the first degree, and sentencing him to a term of 3
Although we do not find that defendant made a valid waiver of his right to appeal, we perceive no basis for reducing the term of postrelease supervision.
Based on our own interest of justice powers, we vacate the surcharge and fees imposed on defendant at sentencing (see e.g. People v Chirinos, 190 AD3d 434 [1st Dept 2021]). We note that the People consent as a matter of prosecutorial discretion. Concur—Renwick, P.J., Moulton, Kennedy, Scarpulla, Higgitt, JJ.
