OPINION OF THE COURT
The order of the Appellate Division should be reversed, with costs, and the case remitted to Supreme Court for further proceedings in accordance with this memorandum.
Correction Law § 168-n (3) requires the court fixing a sex offender’s risk level determination to “render an order setting forth . . . the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which the determinations are based.” Here, neither the Supreme Court nor the Appellate Division order set forth the findings of fact and conclusions of law justifying the risk level determination. We therefore remit this case to Supreme Court to specify its findings of fact and conclusions of law
