DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Firetog, J.), dated June 30, 2009, which, after a hearing, designated him a level three sex offender pursuant to Correction Law article 6-C.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The defendant failed to present clear and convincing evidence of special circumstances warranting a downward departure from his presumptive level three risk assessment (see People v. Colavito, 73 AD3d 1004, 1005; People v. Bowens, 55 AD3d 809, 810; People v. Guaman, 8 AD3d 545). Accordingly, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in designating the defendant a level three sex offender.

SKELOS, J.P., ENG, HALL and LOTT, JJ., concur.
