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

v

Liem Ha, Defendant-Appellant.




Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Abigail Everett of counsel), for appellant.

Robert T. Johnson, District Attorney, Bronx (Ryan Mansell of counsel), for respondent.



Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Seth L. Martin, J.), entered on or about June 18, 2014, which adjudicated defendant a level one sexually violent offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6-C), unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Since it is undisputed that defendant was convicted of an offense under the Uniform Code of Military Justice that is the equivalent of an enumerated sexually violent offense, the court

was required to designate him a sexually violent offender (see People v Bullock, 125 AD3d 1 [1st Dept 2014], lv denied 24 NY3d 915 [2015]). We decline to revisit our holding in Bullock.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
