Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Guy H. Mitchell, J., at plea; Gayle P. Roberts, J., at sentencing), rendered August 14, 2019, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of assault in the second degree, adjudicating him a youthful offender, and sentencing him to a conditional discharge for a period of three years, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of vacating the surcharge and fees imposed on defendant at sentencing, and otherwise affirmed.
Based on our own interest of justice powers, we vacate the surcharge and fees imposed at sentencing (see People v. Chirinos, 190 A.D.3d 434, 135 N.Y.S.3d 641 [1st Dept. 2021] ). We note that the People do not oppose this relief.
