People v. Narvaez — First Dept. Strikes Four Probation Conditions Including Surcharge on Indigent Defendant and Baseless Gang-Association Ban

The First Department modified a probation sentence, striking four conditions as not reasonably necessary under Penal Law § 65.10(1): a financial surcharge on an indigent defendant relying on public assistance, a dependent-support condition where the defendant had no dependents, an order-of-protection compliance condition with no supporting history, and a gang-paraphernalia ban with no evidence of any gang connection.
