v

Gilberto Vargas, Defendant-Appellant.




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

Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York

(Natalia Bedoya-McGinn of counsel), for respondent.



Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Marcy L. Kahn, J.), entered on or about October 24, 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.

The court properly designated defendant a sexually violent offender because he was convicted of an enumerated sexually violent offense, and the court lacked discretion to do otherwise (see People v Bullock, 125 AD3d 1 [1st Dept 2014], lv denied 24 NY3d 915 [2015]).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
