Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v L.A. Lewis, Appellant.
[41 NYS3d 884]

Opinion:
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Charles H. Solomon, J.), entered on or about April 16, 2015, which adjudicated defendant a level two sexually violent predicate offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6-C), unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The court providently exercised its discretion in declining to grant defendant's request for a downward departure (see People v Gillotti, 23 NY3d 841 [2014]). The mitigating factors defendant relied upon were adequately taken into account in the risk assessment instrument, and were, in any event, outweighed by the egregiousness of defendant's underlying conduct.
