Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (George Villegas, J. at plea; Harold Adler, J. at sentencing), rendered September 6, 2018, convicting defendant of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, adjudicating him a youthful offender, and sentencing him to five years’ probation, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of vacating the mandatory surcharge and crime victim assistance fee, and otherwise affirmed.
Pursuant to our own interest of justice powers and with the People's consent, we vacate the mandatory surcharge and crime victim assistance fee imposed at sentencing (see People v. Chirinos, 190 A.D.3d 434, 135 N.Y.S.3d 641 [1st Dept. 2021] ).
