DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Barry Kron, J.), rendered January 23, 2020, convicting her of robbery in the third degree, upon her plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by vacating so much of the sentence as imposed mandatory surcharges and fees; as so modified, the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the period of probation imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
As consented to by the People, we modify the judgment by vacating the mandatory surcharges and fees imposed on the defendant at sentencing (see CPL 420.35[2-a][c]; People v Dickerson, 201 A.D.3d 731; People v Santillan, 200 A.D.3d 1074; People v Sevaughn G., 199 A.D.3d 936, 937; People v Dyshawn B., 196 A.D.3d 638).
DUFFY, J.P., IANNACCI, MALTESE and GENOVESI, JJ., concur.
