The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Jose Santiago, Appellant.

—[*1] Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (William Kastin of counsel; Meghan McCarthy on the brief), for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove, Morgan J. Dennehy, and Bruce Alderman of counsel), for respondent.

Appeals by the defendant from five orders of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Gary, J.), all dated April 29, 2010, which, after a hearing, designated him a level three sexually violent offender pursuant to Correction Law article 6-C.

Ordered that the orders are affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Under the facts of this case, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the defendant's request for an adjournment of the Sex Offender Registration Act hearing (see People v Sherard, 73 AD3d 537 [2010]; People v Wright, 53 AD3d 963, 964 [2008]; People v Ellis, 52 AD3d 1272, 1273 [2008]; People v Di John, 48 AD3d 1302, 1303 [2008]).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit. Rivera, J.P., Angiolillo, Belen and Roman, JJ., concur.
