Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Julio Rodriguez, III, J.), rendered August 3, 2018, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of assault in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term 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 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, 135 N.Y.S.3d 641 [1st Dept. 2021] ). We note that the People do not oppose this relief.
