Before: Acosta, P.J., Kapnick, Friedman, Mendez, Higgitt, JJ.
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Robert A. Neary, J.), rendered April 4, 2018, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of assault in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of two years, unanimously modified, on the law, to the extent of vacating the sentence and remanding the matter for resentencing, including a youthful offender determination, and otherwise affirmed.
As the People concede, defendant is entitled to an express youthful offender determination pursuant to People v Rudolph (21 N.Y.3d 497 [2013]). Because we are ordering a resentencing, we decline to reach the issue of defendant's request for waiver of surcharges and fees pursuant to CPL 420.35(2-a). This issue should be addressed at the resentencing proceeding (see People v Lugo, 194 A.D.3d 495 [1st Dept 2021]).
