Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Efrain Alvarado, J.), entered on or about January 30, 2018, which denied defendant's Correction Law § 168–o (2) petition to modify his sex offender classification, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
We decline to revisit our holding that this type of order is appealable ( People v. Shaljamin, 164 A.D.3d 1169, 82 N.Y.S.3d 406 [1st Dept. 2018] ). The court providently exercised its discretion when it declined to grant a downward modification of defendant's level three classification (see People v. Lashaway, 25 N.Y.3d 478, 13 N.Y.S.3d 337, 34 N.E.3d 847 [2015] ). Defendant's law abiding conduct after being released from custody, but while under supervision, is insufficient to demonstrate that his serious threat of recidivism against children has abated.
