People v. Suarez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

52 A.D.3d 423 (N.Y. App. Div. 2008)

Opinion

No. 4041.

June 26, 2008.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Edward J. McLaughlin, J.), entered on or about May 31, 2006, adjudicating defendant a level two sex offender under the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6-C), unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Steven Banks, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Nancy E. Little of counsel), for appellant.

Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney, New York (Sheryl Feldman of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Lippman, P.J., Tom, Andrias and Saxe, JJ.


Defendant, who was assessed 120 points, which is 10 points over the threshold for a level three adjudication, and who received a downward departure to level two, seeks a further downward departure to a level one adjudication. We perceive no basis for a further departure ( see People v Guaman, 8 AD3d 545). The Board of Examiners' recommendation for a downward departure to level two took into account mitigating factors relating to the underlying sex crime, and defendant failed to show any other factors warranting a further departure.
