PEOPLE v. WILLIAMS

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

The defendant failed to show by clear and convincing evidence that special circumstances existed warranting a downward departure from his presumptive risk level three designation. Accordingly, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in designating him a level three sex offender ( see People v Maiello, 32 AD3d 463; People v Guaman, 8 AD3d 545; cf. People v Abdullah, 31 AD3d 515, 516).
