Judgment of the Supreme Court, Bronx County (George Villegas, J.), rendered February 13, 2018, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of robbery in the first degree, adjudicating him a youthful offender, and sentencing him to a term of 1 to 3 years, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of vacating the mandatory surcharge and crime victim assistance fee imposed 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 the People's consent.
