DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Karen M. Wilutis, J.), rendered November 25, 2019, convicting him of criminal sexual act in the third degree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that his plea was not knowing, intelligent, and voluntary because he was not advised at the time he entered the plea that he would be assessed mandatory surcharges is without merit. The plea court was not required to inform the defendant about the surcharges, which were not components of his sentence (see People v Hoti, 12 N.Y.3d 742, 743; People v Guerrero, 12 N.Y.3d 45; People v Martinezdiaz, 162 A.D.3d 904; People v Bautista, 138 A.D.3d 754, 755; People v Cooks, 107 A.D.3d 734, 735).
IANNACCI, J.P., CHAMBERS, ROMAN and FORD, JJ., concur.
