[*1] The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

v

Darrel Corian, Defendant-Appellant.




Steven Banks, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Michael C. Taglieri of counsel), for appellant.

Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Allen J. Vickey of counsel), for respondent.



Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Charles H. Solomon, J.), entered on or about October 26, 2012, which adjudicated defendant a level three sex offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6-C), unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The court properly applied the presumptive override for defendant's prior felony conviction for persistent sexual abuse (Penal Law § 130.53), and properly exercised its discretion in declining to grant a downward departure. Defendant's principal arguments are similar to arguments this Court rejected on defendant's appeal from another sex offender adjudication arising

out of a similar conviction (77 AD3d 590 [1st Dept 2010], lv denied 16 NY3d 705 [2011]), and we see no reason to reach a different result.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
