THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. JERMAINE ALSTON, Appellant.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

"A departure from the presumptive risk level is warranted where `there exists an aggravating or mitigating factor of a kind, or to a degree, that is otherwise not adequately taken into account by the guidelines'" ( People v Bussie, 83 AD3d 920, 920-921, lv denied — NY3d —, 2011 NY Slip Op 76743 [2011], quoting Sex Offender Registration Act: Risk Assessment Guidelines and Commentary, at 4 [2006]; see People v Cruz, 74 AD3d 1305, 1306). Here, the Supreme Court properly determined that the defendant was not entitled to a downward departure and, thus, properly designated the defendant a level three sex offender ( see People v Sivells, 83 AD3d 1027; People v Bussie, 83 AD3d 920).

The defendant's remaining contentions are improperly raised for the first time on appeal.
