6 A.D.3d 686
N.Y. App. Div.
2004

Appeal by the defendant from an order of the County Court, Nassau County (Carter, J.), dated October 25, 2000, which, pursuant to Correction Law article 6-C, designated him a level three sex offender.

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

The defendant’s contention that his designation as a level three sex offender violated his right to due process because the prosecution failed to offer any evidence at the determination hearing is unpreserved for appellate review (see People v Cureton, 299 AD2d 532 [2002]). In any event, the prosecution presented clear and convincing evidence to support a risk level three classification, in the form of a risk assessment instrument and case summary prepared by the Board of Examiners of Sex Offenders, along with the defendant’s presentence report (see People v Moore, 1 AD3d 421 [2003]; People v Mitchell, 300 AD2d 377 [2002]; People v Cureton, supra; Correction Law § 168-n [3]).

We further find that the defendant was given sufficient notice *687of the basis of the Board’s recommendation, and the notice advised him of his right to pre-hearing discovery (see Correction Law § 168-n [3]; see also Doe v Pataki, 3 F Supp 2d 456, 472 [1998]). Santucci, J.P., Florio, Schmidt and Rivera, JJ., concur.
