Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Sabrina Margret Bierer of counsel), for respondent.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Thomas Farber, J.), entered on or about September 21, 2017, which adjudicated defendant a level two sex offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6-C), unanimously modified, on the law, to reduce the adjudication to level one, and otherwise affirmed, without costs.
We previously held this appeal in abeyance and remanded for further proceedings concerning defendant's application for a downward departure (169 AD3d 534 [1st Dept 2019]). Upon remand, Supreme Court granted defendant's downward departure application and adjudicated him as a level one sex offender. The People do not challenge this determination. As such, we modify accordingly.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
