PEOPLE v. ATKINSON

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

There was clear and convincing evidence to support the County Court's determination to designate the defendant a level three sex offender ( see People v Fisher, 36 AD3d 880; People v Inghilleri, 21 AD3d 404; People v Guaman, 8 AD3d 545). There is no merit to the defendant's contention that he was entitled to a downward departure from this risk level ( see People v Abdullah, 31 AD3d 515; People v Ventura, 24 AD3d 527; People v Dexter, 21 AD3d 403).
