People v. Atkinson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Sep 15, 2009
65 A.D.3d 1112 (N.Y. App. Div. 2009)

Opinion

No. 2008-08503.

September 15, 2009.

Appeal by the defendant from an order of the County Court, Suffolk County (Hudson, J.), dated August 25, 2008, which, after a hearing, designated him a level three sex offender pursuant to Correction Law article 6-C.

Robert C. Mitchell, Riverhead, N.Y. (James H. Miller III of counsel), for appellant.

Thomas J. Spota, District Attorney, Riverhead, N.Y. (Grazia DiVincenzo of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Fisher, J.P., Florio, Covello and Dickerson, JJ., concur.


Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

There was clear and convincing evidence to support the County Court's determination to designate the defendant a level three sex offender ( see People v Fisher, 36 AD3d 880; People v Inghilleri, 21 AD3d 404; People v Guaman, 8 AD3d 545). There is no merit to the defendant's contention that he was entitled to a downward departure from this risk level ( see People v Abdullah, 31 AD3d 515; People v Ventura, 24 AD3d 527; People v Dexter, 21 AD3d 403).
