v
Andre Cash, appellant.
Janet E. Sabel, New York, NY (Richard Joselson and Jose David Rodriguez-Gonzalez of counsel), for appellant.
Michael E. McMahon, District Attorney, Staten Island, NY (Morrie I. Kleinbart of counsel), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from an order of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (William E. Garnett, J.), dated September 17, 2015, which, after a hearing, designated him a level one sex offender pursuant to Correction Law article 6-C.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Correction Law § 168-l(8) provides that a failure by a state or local agency to act or by a court to render a determination within the time period specified by the Sex Offender Registration Act (see Correction Law art 6-C; hereinafter SORA) shall not affect the obligation of a sex offender to register or verify under SORA, nor shall such failure prevent a court from making a determination regarding the sex offender's risk level. Contrary to the defendant's contention, the delay in holding a hearing to determine his risk level pursuant to SORA was not so "outrageously arbitrary" as to constitute "a gross abuse of governmental authority" (People v Sprinkler, 162 AD3d 802, 802; People v Gonzalez, 138 AD3d 814, 815; see People v Gallagher, 129 AD3d 1252, 1253; People v Meyers, 16 Misc 3d 115, 117-118 [App Term, 2d Dept]; cf. People v Gregory, 71 AD3d 1559, 1560).
AUSTIN, J.P., MALTESE, CONNOLLY and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur.
