[*1]

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Jashaun Brickhouse, Appellant.

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

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Erika Edwards, J.), rendered March 7, 2018, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a firearm, and sentencing him to a jail term of one year, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of vacating the surcharge and fees imposed at sentencing, and otherwise affirmed.

Based on our own interest of justice powers, we vacate the 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—Oing, J.P., Gesmer, Scarpulla, Rodriguez, Michael, JJ..
