Appeal from an order of the Monroe County Court (Douglas A. Randall, J.), entered November 7, 2019. The order determined that defendant is a level two risk pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act.

It is hereby ordered that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.

Memorandum: In this proceeding pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act ([SORA] Correction Law § 168 et seq.), defendant, who relocated to New York State having been previously convicted of a sex offense in Florida, appeals from an order determining that he is a level two risk. Defendant failed to preserve for our review his contention that he was entitled to a downward departure from his presumptive risk level on the ground that he had been at liberty for a prolonged period without any reoffending conduct (see People v Iverson, 90 AD3d 1561, 1562 [4th Dept 2011], lv denied 18 NY3d 811 [2012]; see generally People v Johnson, 11 NY3d 416, 421-422 [2008]). In any event, defendant's contention lacks merit. Even assuming, arguendo, that defendant's allegation constitutes a mitigating circumstance that is, "as a matter of law, of a kind or to a degree not adequately taken into account by the guidelines" (People v Gillotti, 23 NY3d 841, 861 [2014]; see People v Sotomayer, 143 AD3d 686, 687 [2d Dept 2016]), we conclude that defendant failed to establish by a preponderance of the evidence the existence of that mitigating circumstance in this case (see People v Yglesias, 180 AD3d 821, 823 [2d Dept 2020], lv denied 35 NY3d 910 [2020]; People v Sprinkler, 162 AD3d 802, 803 [2d Dept 2018], lv denied 32 NY3d 907 [2018]; cf. People v Abdullah, 31 AD3d 515, 516 [2d Dept 2006]). Moreover, even if defendant surmounted the first two steps of the analysis (see generally Gillotti, 23 NY3d at 861), upon weighing the mitigating circumstance against the aggravating circumstances—most prominently defendant's " 'overall criminal history' " (People v Duryee, 130 AD3d 1487, 1488 [4th Dept 2015]), including his conviction for failing to comply with the sex offender law in Florida (see People v Perez, 158 AD3d 1070, 1071 [4th Dept 2018], lv denied 31 NY3d 905 [2018])—we conclude that the totality of the circumstances does not warrant a downward departure inasmuch as defendant's presumptive risk level does not represent an over-assessment of his dangerousness and risk of sexual recidivism (see People v Sincerbeaux, 27 NY3d 683, 690-691 [2016]).
