Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Guy Mitchell, J. at plea; Gayle Roberts, J. at sentencing), rendered September 12, 2018, convicting defendant of attempted robbery in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of two years, with two years' postrelease supervision, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of waiving all surcharges and fees imposed at sentencing, and otherwise affirmed.

We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence. Based on the People's consent as a matter of prosecutorial discretion, and pursuant to our own interest of justice powers, we waive the surcharge and fees imposed on defendant at sentencing (see People v. Chirinos, 190 A.D.3d 434, 135 N.Y.S.3d 641 [1st Dept. 2021] ).
