DECISION & ORDER

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 SORA hearing (see People v. Sherard, 73 AD3d 537; People v. Wright, 53 AD3d 963, 964; People v. Ellis, 52 AD3d 1272, 1273; People v. Di John, 48 AD3d 1302, 1303).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.

RIVERA, J.P., ANGIOLILLO, BELEN and ROMAN, JJ., concur.
