The People v. Dennis J. Sincerbeauxgreen2 sentences2025Finally, even assuming, arguendo, that defendant satisfied his burden with respect to the first two steps of the downward departure analysis ( see generally Gillotti , 23 NY3d at 861 ), we conclude on this record, after applying the third step of weighing the aggravating and mitigating factors, 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 Wolcott , 232 AD3d 1321 , 1322-1323 [4th Dept 2024]; People v Pope , 229 AD3 2024Finally, even assuming, arguendo, that defendant satisfied his burden with respect to the first two steps of the downward departure analysis ( see generally People v Gillotti , 23 NY3d 841, 861 [2014]), we conclude on this record, after applying the third step of weighing the aggravating [*2]and mitigating factors, 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 Harris , 217 AD3d at 1387-1388 ; People v Burgess , 191 AD3d 125 | 3 | 3 |

People v. Stevensgreen1 sentence2024Moreover, even assuming, arguendo, that defendant met his burden on the first two steps of the downward departure analysis ( see generally Gillotti , 23 NY3d at 861 ), we conclude that the totality of the circumstances does not warrant a downward departure inasmuch as defendant's presumptive risk [*2]level does not represent an overassessment of his dangerousness and risk of sexual recidivism given, among other factors, the nature and volume of images possessed by defendant ( see Stevens , 207 AD3d at 1062). | 1 | 1 |

People v. Wrightgreen1 sentence2023Contrary to the court's reasoning, it is well established that [*2]"[w]here, as here, a defendant meets the initial burden, under step three of the analysis the court must exercise its discretion by weighing the mitigating factor [and any aggravating factors] to determine whether the totality of the circumstances warrants a departure to avoid an overassessment of the defendant's dangerousness and risk of sexual recidivism" ( People v Wright , 215 AD3d 1258, 1259 [4th Dept 2023] [internal quotation marks omitted]; see Gillotti , 23 NY3d at 861 ). | 1 | 1 |
