Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Robert M. Mandelbaum, J.), entered on or about May 13, 2019, which adjudicated defendant a level three sexually violent predicate offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6–C), unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The court providently rejected defendant's request for an indefinite adjournment of his sex offender classification hearing based on the pendency of an article 10 civil commitment proceeding (see e.g. People v. Boone, 202 A.D.3d 449, 158 N.Y.S.3d 579 [1st Dept. 2022], lv granted 38 N.Y.3d 908, 2022 WL 1633554 [2022] ; People v. Blum, 166 A.D.3d 571, 86 N.Y.S.3d 872 [1st Dept. 2018], lv denied 32 N.Y.3d 918, 2019 WL 1348080 [2019] ). Defendant's constitutional argument is unpreserved, and is without merit in any event.
