The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Nate Rose, Appellant.
[42 NYS3d 826]
[MAJORITY]
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Arlene D. Goldberg, J.), entered September 17, 2015, which adjudicated defendant a level two sexually violent sex offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6-C), unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The court properly exercised its discretion when it declined to grant a downward departure (see People v Gillotti, 23 NY3d 841 [2014]). The mitigating factors cited by defendant were adequately taken into account by the risk assessment instrument or outweighed by the seriousness of the underlying crime and defendant’s violent criminal history.
