Before: Renwick, J.P., Kern, Singh, Moulton, JJ.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Michael J. Obus, J.), entered on or about February 7, 2019, which adjudicated defendant a level two sexually violent offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6-C), unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The court properly exercised its discretion when it declined to grant a downward departure (see People v Gillotti, 23 N.Y.3d 841 [2014]). There were no mitigating factors that were not adequately taken into account by the risk assessment instrument, or outweighed by aggravating factors. Defendant has not demonstrated that there was anything exceptional about his response to treatment, and his criminal history shows an inability to control his behavior.
