Mental Hygiene Legal Service, Mineola, N.Y. (Sidney Hirschfeld,
Laura Rothschild, and Dennis B. Feld of counsel), for appellant.

respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from an order of the County Court, Suffolk County (Hinrichs, J.), dated June 17, 2005, which, after a hearing pursuant to Correction Law article 6-C, designated him a level three sex offender.

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

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the County Court's determination to designate him a level three sex offender was supported by clear and convincing evidence, and thus, should not be disturbed (see Correction Law § 168-n[3]; People v Awalt, 17 AD3d 336; People v Hampton, 300 AD2d 641).

CRANE, J.P., RITTER, RIVERA and LUNN, JJ., concur.

ENTER:

James Edward Pelzer

Clerk of the Court
