DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from an order of the County Court, Suffolk County (Kahn, J.), dated June 24, 2015, which, after a hearing, designated him a level three sex offender pursuant to Correction Law article 6-C.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the County Court properly assessed 30 points under risk factor 3 (number of victims) and 20 points under risk factor 7 (relationship with victim) based upon his conviction, in Wyoming, of possession of child pornography (see People v Gillotti, 23 NY3d 841; People v Johnson, 11 NY3d 416; People v Hamilton, 139 AD3d 928; People v Granzeier, 137 AD3d 989; People v Wooten, 136 AD3d 1305). In addition, the County Court properly determined that the defendant was not entitled to a downward departure and, thus, properly designated him a level three sex offender (see People v Rukasov, 132 AD3d 748, 749; People v Morel-Baca, 127 AD3d 833, 834; People v Wyatt, 89 AD3d 112).
