People v. Gerena

21 A.D.3d 885, 800 N.Y.S.2d 511, 2005 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 8951

Opinion

Appeal by the defendant from an order of the County Court, Suffolk County (Braslow, J), dated October 29, 2003, which, after a hearing pursuant to Correction Law article 6-C, adjudicated him a level three sex offender.

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

The application of New York’s Sex Offender Registration Act (see Correction Law § 168 et seq.) to the defendant, who committed sex crimes before its effective date, was proper (see People v Hernandez, 264 AD2d 783 [1999]; Doe v Pataki, 120 F3d 1263, 1285 [1997], cert denied 522 US 1122 [1998]).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Adams, J.P., Ritter, Goldstein and Fisher, JJ., concur.
