[*1]The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
vRobert M., Defendant-Appellant.

Twyla Carter, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Laura Boyd of counsel), for appellant.

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (George Villegas, J.), rendered June 29, 2017, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, adjudicating him a youthful offender, and sentencing him to a conditional discharge for a period of three years, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of vacating the 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 fee imposed on defendant at sentencing (see People v Chirinos, 190 AD3d 434 [1st Dept 2021]). We note that the People do not oppose this relief.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
