Opinion
No. 3873.
December 14, 2010.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (John Cataldo, J)., entered on or about November 25, 2008, which adjudicated defendant a level three sex offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6-C), unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Steven Banks, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Susan Epstein of counsel), for appellant.
Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Nicole Coviello of counsel), for respondent
Before: Sweeny, J.P., Moskowitz, Renwick, DeGrasse and Román, JJ.
Although defendant challenges two particular point assessments, we find those challenges unavailing. In any event, even without those assessments defendant would remain a level three offender, and we find no basis for a discretionary downward departure ( see People v Mingo, 12 NY3d 563, 568 n 2 [2009]; People v Johnson, 11 NY3d 416, 421), particularly in light of the seriousness of defendant's criminal history.
