2467 1269/12

[*1]The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
vDanny Fuentes, Defendant-Appellant.

Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Lauren J. Springer of counsel), for appellant.
Darcel D. Clark, District Attorney, Bronx (James J. Wen of counsel), for respondent.

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Denis J. Boyle, J.), entered December 16, 2014, which adjudicated defendant a level two sex 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 a downward departure (see People v Gillotti, 23 NY3d 841 [2014]). We do not find that there were any overassessments of points. Although the underlying sex crime against a child only resulted in a misdemeanor conviction, the circumstances of the crime were nevertheless serious, and they outweighed the mitigating factors defendant cites.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
ENTERED: DECEMBER 15, 2016
CLERK
