[*1]The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Nelson Gonzalez, Defendant-Appellant.




Twyla Carter, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Clara Hammond-Oakley of counsel), for appellant.



Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (George Villegas, J.), rendered May 9, 2019, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of two years, 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 (People v Chirinos, 190 AD3d 434 [1st Dept 2021]). We note that the People do not oppose this relief.
