The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Taquan JOHNSON, Defendant–appellant.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Ann Scherzer, J.), rendered February 3, 2020, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted assault in the first degree and conspiracy in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to an aggregate term of six years, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of vacating the surcharge and fees imposed at sentencing, and otherwise affirmed.
We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
Based on our own interest of justice powers, we vacate the surcharge and fees imposed on defendant at sentencing (see e.g. People v. Abreu, 211 AD3d 410 [1st Dept 2022]).
