People v. Williams

Appeal by the defendant from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Chun, J.), dated February 28, 2012, which, after a hearing, designated him a level two sex offender pursuant to Correction Law article 6-C.

Contrary to the defendant’s contention, the Supreme Court properly assessed 15 points under risk factor 11 for a history of drug and alcohol abuse. The assessment of these points was supported by clear and convincing evidence in the record, including the case summary completed by the Board of Examiners of Sex Offenders and the presentence investigation report (see Sex Offender Registration Act: Risk Assessment Guidelines and Commentary at 15 [2006]; People v Jamison, 127 AD3d 947 [2015]; People v Dallas, 122 AD3d 698 , 699 [2014]; People v Reede, 113 AD3d 663 , 663-664 [2014]; People v King, 111 AD3d 909 [2013]).

In addition, the Supreme Court properly denied the defendant’s request for a downward departure from the presumptive level two designation (see People v Gillotti, 23 NY3d 841 , 845, 861 [2014]; People v Wyatt, 89 AD3d 112 , 131 [2011]). Accordingly, the defendant was properly designated a level two sex offender.
