Appellate Division, First Department

[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Anthony Carey, Appellant.

Twyla Carter, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Sylvia Lara Altreuter of counsel), for appellant.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Laurie Peterson, J.), rendered February 22, 2019, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and sentencing him to a prison term of two years, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of vacating the mandatory surcharge and fees imposed at sentencing, and otherwise affirmed.

Based on our own interest of justice powers, we vacate the mandatory surcharge and fees 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. Concur—Manzanet-Daniels, J.P., Friedman, Kapnick, Shulman, Pitt-Burke, JJ..
