Opinion
The court had ample evidence on which to assess 15 points under the risk factor for drug or alcohol abuse. In any event, even without that assessment defendant would remain a level two offender, and we find no basis for a discretionary downward departure from his presumptive risk level (see People v Mingo, 12 NY3d 563, 568 n 2 [2009]; People v Johnson, 11 NY3d 416, 421 [2008]). The mitigating circumstances cited by defendant were adequately taken into account by the risk assessment instrument. Concur — Tom, J.R, Sweeny, Renwick, Freedman and Manzanet-Daniels, JJ.
