PEOPLE v. MALDONADO (2025)

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, New York.

The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Jamel MALDONADO, Defendant–Appellant.

3555

Decided: January 23, 2025

Manzanet–Daniels, J.P., Kapnick, Shulman, Higgitt, Michael, JJ.

Twyla Carter, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Andrew C. Shear of counsel), for appellant.

Judgment of resentence, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Albert Lorenzo, J.), rendered January 16, 2019, as amended January 31, 2019, resentencing defendant to a term of two years, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of vacating the surcharge and fees imposed at resentencing, and otherwise affirmed.

Based on our own interest of justice powers, we vacate the surcharge and fees imposed on defendant at resentencing (see People v. Chirinos, 190 A.D.3d 434, 135 N.Y.S.3d 641 [1st Dept. 2021]). We note that the People do not oppose this relief.
