Please sign up to view Important Paras.

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

Memorandum: Defendant appeals from an order denying his petition pursuant to Correction Law § 168-o seeking to modify the determination "regarding the level of notification" (§ 168-o [2]), i.e., that he is a level two risk pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law § 168 et seq.). We agree with County Court that defendant failed to meet his "burden of proving the facts supporting the requested modification by clear and convincing evidence" (§ 168-0 [2]).
