Patrick J. Jennings, Saratoga Springs, N.Y., for appellant.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from an order of the Supreme Court, Rockland County (Kelly, J.), dated April 3, 2013, which, after a hearing, designated him a level two sex offender pursuant to Correction Law article 6-C.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
In determining a defendant's risk level pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (see Correction Law art 6-C), the People have the burden of establishing the facts supporting the determination sought by clear and convincing evidence (see Correction Law § 168-n[3]; People v Mingo, 12 NY3d 563, 571; People v King, 80 AD3d 681, 682).
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the factors relied upon by the People to determine his classification as a level two sex offender were established by clear and convincing evidence (see People v Mingo, 12 NY3d 563, 571-572; People v Johnson, 85 AD3d 889; People v Fortin, 29 AD3d 765, 766; People v Mitchell, 300 AD2d 377, 378).
DILLON, J.P., MILLER, MALTESE and DUFFY, JJ., concur.
