The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Isaiah Goodson, Defendant-Appellant.
Twyla Carter, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Katherine M.A. Pecore of counsel), for appellant.
Twyla Carter, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Katherine M.A. Pecore of counsel), for appellant.
Before: Manzanet-Daniels, J.P., Kern, Friedman, O'Neill Levy, Michael, JJ.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Juan Merchan, J.), rendered April 12, 2019, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of robbery in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of 3½ years, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of vacating the surcharge and fees imposed at sentencing, and otherwise affirmed.
Based on our own interest of justice powers, we vacate the surcharge and fees imposed on defendant at sentencing (see People v Chirinos, 190 A.D.3d 434 [1st Dept 2021]). We note that the People do not oppose this relief.
