The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Brandon Brown, Appellant.

Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Shaina R. Watrous of counsel), for appellant.

Darcel D. Clark, District Attorney, Bronx (T. Charles Won of counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Ethan Greenberg, J., at plea; Bahaati E. Pitt, J., at sentencing), rendered May 6, 2021, convicting defendant of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of four years, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of vacating the order of protection’s provision directing that it remain in effect until September 25, 2035, and remanding for a new determination of the order’s duration, and otherwise affirmed.

We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence. However, as the People concede, the order of protection’s expiration date should be recalculated ( see e.g. People v Natal , 200 AD3d 620 [1st Dept 2021]). Concur—Acosta, P.J., Webber, Friedman, Kennedy, Higgitt, JJ..
