v
Keenan Leung, Appellant.

[*1] Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Warren S. Landau of counsel), for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Morgan J. Dennehy of counsel; Ross Yaggy on the brief), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Marrus, J.), dated September 11, 2007, which, after a hearing, designated him a level three sex offender pursuant to Correction Law article 6-C.

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

Contrary to the defendant's contention, there was clear and convincing proof to warrant the assessment of points against him for a history of substance abuse as set forth in the risk assessment instrument of the Board of Examiners of Sex Offenders (hereinafter the RAI). The Supreme Court properly designated the defendant a level three sex offender based upon the facts of the case and the RAI (see Correction Law § 168-n; People v Smolen, 47 AD3d 623 [2008]; People v Yarborough, 43 AD3d 1129 [2007]; People v Grimmett, 29 AD3d 766 [2006]). Skelos, J.P., Santucci, Dillon and Covello, JJ., concur.
