DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Gia L. Morris, J., at plea; Bruna L. DiBiase, J., at sentence), rendered February 27, 2019, convicting him of attempted robbery in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

ORDERED that the judgment is modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by vacating the imposition of mandatory surcharges and fees; as so modified, the judgment is affirmed.

Based on the People's consent, and pursuant to the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction, we waive the surcharges and fees imposed on the defendant at sentencing (see CPL 420.35[2-a][c]; see also People v Hunter, 203 AD3d 752, 753).

DILLON, J.P., CHAMBERS, CHRISTOPHER and WARHIT, JJ., concur.
