PEOPLE v. ATKINSON

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

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the evidence submitted by the People established, by clear and convincing evidence ( see Correction Law § 168-k), including reliable hearsay ( id.), the existence of facts sufficient to support the recommendation of the Board of Examiners of Sex Offenders that the defendant be classified as a level three sex offender ( see People v Hegazy, 25 AD3d 675 [2006]; People v Terdeman, 175 Misc 2d 379).
