[*1] The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
vLuis Zambrano, Defendant-Appellant.


Scott A. Rosenberg, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Lorraine Maddalo of counsel), for appellant.
Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Philip Morrow of counsel), for respondent.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Bonnie G. Wittner, J.), entered on or about September 24, 2012, which adjudicated defendant a level two sexually violent offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6-C), unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The court properly exercised its discretion when it declined to grant a downward departure to risk level one (see People v Gillotti, 23 NY3d 841 [2014]). There were no mitigating factors
that were not adequately taken into account by the guidelines, and the record does not establish any basis for a downward departure.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
