v

Jalique Savoy, appellant.

Patricia Pazner, New York, NY (Steven C. Kuza of counsel), for appellant.

Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove, Melissa Owen, and Kaley Hanenkrat of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Phyllis Chu, J.), rendered December 18, 2023, convicting him of criminal possession of a firearm, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence.

ORDERED that the judgment is modified, on the law and as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by vacating the imposition of a mandatory surcharge and fees; as so modified, the judgment is affirmed.

Based on the People's consent, and pursuant to the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction, we modify the judgment by vacating the mandatory surcharge and fees imposed on the defendant at sentencing (see CPL 420.35[2-a][c]; People v Pinnock, 239 AD3d 1000, 1001; People v Johnson, 193 AD3d 1076, 1077).

BARROS, J.P., GENOVESI, VOUTSINAS and LANDICINO, JJ., concur.
