Robert Hinton, Appellant.

Twyla Carter, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Elizabeth B. Emmons of counsel), for appellant.

Darcel D. Clark, District Attorney, Bronx (Saad Siddiqui of counsel), for respondent.

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Raymond Bruce, J.), entered on or about September 22, 2017, which adjudicated defendant a level two sex offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) (Correction Law art 6-C), unanimously modified, on the law and on the consent of the parties, to the extent of reducing the adjudication to level one, and otherwise affirmed, without costs.

The People have agreed to withdraw their opposition to defendant’s appeal and to consent to his designation as a level one sex offender. As a result, we modify Supreme Court’s order and grant defendant a downward departure to level one. Concur—Manzanet-Daniels, J.P., Moulton, Mendez, Rodriguez, Rosado, JJ..
