DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Brennan, J.), dated September 29, 2014, which, after a hearing, designated him a level two 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 Supreme Court properly denied his request for a downward departure from his presumptive designation as a level two sex offender. The defendant failed to establish that his expected deportation was, "as a matter of law, an appropriate mitigating factor" (People v Wyatt, 89 AD3d 112, 128; see People v Gillotti, 23 NY3d 841, 861; People v Leshchenko, 127 AD3d 833; People v Ciudadreal, 125 AD3d 950, 951; People v Barrett, 123 AD3d 783, 784; People v Pavia, 121 AD3d 960; People v Romero, 113 AD3d 605).

RIVERA, J.P., ROMAN, LASALLE and BARROS, JJ., concur.
