Opinion
No. 583.
March 22, 2007.
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (David Stadtmauer, J.), rendered June 15, 2005, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of manslaughter in the first degree, and sentencing him to a term of eight years, unanimously modified, on the law, to the extent of vacating the DNA databank fee, and otherwise affirmed.
Richard M. Greenberg, Office of the Appellate Defender, New York (Christina Graves of counsel), for appellant.
Robert T. Johnson, District Attorney, Bronx (Vincenzo S. Lippiello of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Friedman, J.P., Nardelli, Sweeny, McGuire and Malone, JJ.
We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
As the People concede, since the crime was committed prior to the effective date of the legislation (Penal Law § 60.35 [a] [v] [former (1) (e)]), providing for the imposition of a DNA databank fee, that fee should not have been imposed.
