Your question is not entirely clear. If you received this ticket outside of NYC, and you pled guilty, the exact fine is determined by the judge. When the court receives your guilty plea, it will be brought before the assigned judge, who imposes a fine. The court then sends you back a fine amount. Depending on the court, it can take between a few weeks and a few months until you hear back from the court. If you still have not heard back from the court after a few months, you should resend your guilty plea or follow up with the court via phone or email.
