Before: Webber, J.P., Oing, Scarpulla, Mendez, Rodriguez, JJ.
Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Raymond L. Bruce, J.), entered on or about June 1, 2018, 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 assessed defendant 20 points under the risk factor for conduct while confined, based on his accrual of disciplinary violations for a sex offense and lewd conduct, and his claim of temporal remoteness is unavailing (see People v Holmes, 195 A.D.3d 528 [1st Dept 2021], lv denied 37 N.Y.3d 912 [2021]).
In any event, regardless of whether defendant's correct point score is 105, as found by the court, or 85, as he contends, he remains a level two offender, and we find no basis for a downward departure (see People v Gillotti, 23 N.Y.3d 841 [2014]). All the mitigating factors cited by defendant, including his age, medical conditions, and the fact that he will receive lifetime specialized parole supervision, were adequately taken into account by the guidelines or outweighed by defendant's long criminal history and the seriousness of the offense.
