Since defendant was sentenced to a term of incarceration of longer than 60 days(see Penal Law § 60.35 [8]), he was required to seek relief from hismandatory surcharge payments by way of a CPL 420.10 (5) motion for resentencing.Defendant's claims that he was entitled to a financial hardship hearing pursuant to CPL420.40, and that the hearing should have been held at the time of his sentencing, are notsupported by the applicable statutes.
