Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, Roni C. Piplani, and Joseph Z. Amsel of Counsel), for respondent.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The Supreme Court properly denied the defendant's application for a downward departure from his presumptive designation as a level two sex offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (see Correction Law § 168 et seq. ; hereinafter SORA). The defendant failed to identify any mitigating circumstances that are of a kind or to a degree not adequately taken into account by the SORA guidelines (see People v. Gillotti, 23 N.Y.3d 841, 861, 994 N.Y.S.2d 1, 18 N.E.3d 701 ; People v. Rocano–Quintuna, 149 A.D.3d 1114, 1115, 53 N.Y.S.3d 170 ; People v. Perez, 138 A.D.3d 1081, 1082, 28 N.Y.S.3d 905 ).
MASTRO, J.P., HALL, AUSTIN and SGROI, JJ., concur.
