    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Antonio Lopez, Appellant.
    [995 NYS2d 506]
   Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Daniel E FitzGerald, J.), entered on or about February 22, 2013, which adjudicated defendant a level three sex offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6-C), unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The court properly exercised its discretion in declining to grant a downward departure (see People v Cintron, 12 NY3d 60, 70 [2009], cert denied 558 US 1011 [2009]; People v Johnson, 11 NY3d 416, 421 [2008]). Defendant failed to demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence any mitigating factors not already taken into account in the risk assessment instrument that would warrant such a departure (see People v Gillotti, 23 NY3d 841 [2014]). The underlying conduct was committed against a child over an extended period, and the mitigating factors cited by defendant, including his age, do not warrant a downward departure (see e.g. People v Harrison, 74 AD3d 688 [1st Dept 2010], lv denied 15 NY3d 711 [2010]).

Concur — Tom, J.E, Renwick, Andrias, DeGrasse and Kapnick, JJ.
