Opinion
September 23, 1997
Appeal from Supreme Court, New York County (James Leff, J.).
Defendant's claim that the mandatory surcharge should be waived on the ground of unreasonable hardship is not properly before this Court since it is premature ( People v. Ramirez, 208 A.D.2d 381, lv denied 84 N.Y.2d 1037).
