United States Second Circuit

Summary judgment in favor of defendants New York State Governor and Acting Commissioner of the State of New York Division of Criminal Justice Services in an as-applied constitutional challenge to the enforcement of amendments to the notification and registration requirements of the New York State Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA), is affirmed, where: 1) the amendments post-dated plaintiff's plea of guilty to misdemeanor attempted possession of a sexual performance by a child, for which he was classified as a level-one sex offender required to register under SORA; 2) defendant's constitutional claims are without merit; and 3) application of the amendments to him did not violate his plea agreement.
