SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
            Appellate Division, Fourth Judicial Department
1216
KA 10-00119
PRESENT: SCUDDER, P.J., CARNI, LINDLEY, SCONIERS, AND GREEN, JJ.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,

                     V                               MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

ANGEL M. VALENTIN, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

TIMOTHY P. DONAHER, PUBLIC DEFENDER, ROCHESTER (JAMES ECKERT OF
COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

MICHAEL C. GREEN, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, ROCHESTER (NANCY GILLIGAN OF
COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.

     Appeal from an order of the Monroe County Court (Frank P. Geraci,
Jr., J.), entered December 23, 2009. The order determined that
defendant is a level two risk pursuant to the Sex Offender
Registration Act.

     It is hereby ORDERED that the order so appealed from is
unanimously affirmed without costs.

     Memorandum: On appeal from an order determining that he is a
level two risk pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act ([SORA]
Correction Law § 168 et seq.), defendant’s sole contention is that
County Court erred in failing to determine that he was entitled to a
downward departure to a level one risk. Inasmuch as defendant failed
to request such a departure before or during the SORA hearing,
however, he failed to preserve that contention for our review (see
People v Ratcliff, 53 AD3d 1110, lv denied 11 NY3d 708).
