Twyla Carter, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Katheryne M. Martone of counsel), for appellant
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Steven Hornstein, J.), rendered on or about January 23, 2020, convicting defendant, upon his pleas of guilty, of assault in the second degree and assault in the third degree, and sentencing him to an aggregate term of two years, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of vacating the surcharges and fees imposed at sentencing, and otherwise affirmed.
Based on our own interest of justice powers, we vacate the surcharges and fees imposed on defendant at sentencing (see People v Chirinos, 190 AD3d 434 [1st Dept 2021]). We note that the People do not oppose this relief. Concur—Webber, J.P., Friedman, González, Shulman, Rosado, JJ.
