Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Louis Burgos, Appellant.
[996 NYS2d 917]

Opinion:
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Arlene D. Goldberg, J.), entered on or about October 20, 2011, which adjudicated defendant a level two sexually violent 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 to risk level one (see People v Gillotti, 23 NY3d 841 [2014]). Defendant's conduct and accomplishments while incarcerated were not so extraordinary as to warrant a departure from his presumptive risk level, given the seriousness of the underlying crime against a five-year-old child.
