Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Edgar Montano, Appellant.
[936 NYS2d 889]

Opinion:
The court properly exercised its discretion in declining to grant a downward departure from defendant's presumptive risk level (see People v Mingo, 12 NY3d 563, 568 n 2 [2009]; People v Johnson, 11 NY3d 416, 421 [2008]). The mitigating factors asserted by defendant were adequately taken into account by the risk assessment instrument (see e.g. People v Hansford, 67 AD3d 496 [2009]).
