The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Jose Salvador, Defendant-Appellant.
Twyla Carter, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Everett K. Hopkins of counsel), for appellant.
Twyla Carter, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Everett K. Hopkins of counsel), for appellant.
Before: Manzanet-Daniels, J.P., Rodriguez, Pitt-Burke, Higgitt, Rosado, JJ.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Kevin B. McGrath, J., at plea; Steven M. Statsinger, J., at sentencing), rendered July 26, 2019, convicting defendant of criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree, and sentencing him to a conditional discharge, 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 on defendant at sentencing (see People v Chirinos, 190 A.D.3d 434, 435 [1st Dept 2021]). We note that the People do not oppose this relief.
