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

v

Shamont Harris, Defendant-Appellant.




Seymour W. James, Jr., The Legal Aid Society, New York (Ronald Alfano of counsel), for appellant.

Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Jeffrey A. Wojcik of counsel), for respondent.



Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Analisa Torres, J.), entered on or about May 11, 2012, which adjudicated defendant a level three sexually violent offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6-C), unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Defendant's argument that the court's assessment of points under the risk factor for a prior violent felony was not supported by sufficient documentation is unpreserved and we decline to consider it in the interest of justice. In any event, we find that the case summary was reliable hearsay that constituted clear and convincing evidence to support this point assessment (see People v Mingo, 12 NY3d 563, 572-573 [2009]).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
