Steven Banks, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Susan Epstein of counsel), for appellant.

Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Joshua L. Haber of counsel), for respondent.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Cassandra M. Mullen, J.), entered on or about August 3, 2011, 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 record supports the court's determination that defendant is subject to the presumptive override for a prior felony sex crime conviction, which results in a level three adjudication independent of any point assessments. The court properly exercised its discretion when it declined to grant a downward departure (see People v Gillotti, 23 NY3d 841 [2014&rsqb). The mitigating factors cited by defendant were outweighed by the seriousness of defendant's underlying crimes and his pattern of recidivism. Concur—Acosta, J.P., Moskowitz, Richter, Feinman and Clark, JJ.
