Spota, District Attorney, Riverhead, N.Y. (Rosalind C. Gray of counsel),respondent pro se.
In a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, inter alia, to review a determination of the NewYork State Board of Examiners of Sex Offenders that the petitioner is required to register as asex offender pursuant to Correction Law article 6-C, the petitioner appeals from a judgment ofthe Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Baisley, Jr., J.), entered November 24, 2008, which deniedthe petition and dismissed the proceeding.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
We agree with the Supreme Court that the petitioner's claims are without merit. Requiringthe petitioner to register under the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6-C) doesnot violate the ex post facto clause of the federal constitution (US Const, art I, § 10 [1]),the due process clauses of the state or federal constitutions (NY Const, art I, § 6; US ConstAmend XIV), or the petitioner's right to equal protection of the law (see People v Knox,12 NY3d 60, 67 [2009], cert denied 558 US —, 130 S Ct 552 [2009];People v Buss, 11 NY3d 553 [2008]; Matter of North v Board of Examiners of SexOffenders of State of N.Y., 8 NY3d 745, 752 [2007]).
