COUNTY COURT DID NOT MAKE THE REQUIRED FINDINGS OF FACT FOR DEFENDANT’S REQUEST FOR A DOWNWARD DEPARTURE IN THIS SORA RISK LEVEL PROCEEDING; ORDER REVERSED AND MATTER REMITTED (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, reversing County Court, determined County Court failed to make the required findings of fact for defendant’s request for a downward departure:

Defendant … argues that County Court erred in denying his request for a downward departure. Although the court did expressly deny this request in the order, it did not detail the factual findings in support of its conclusion. Thus, we are unable to ascertain the court’s reasoning for denying defendant’s request. Consequently, we reverse and remit for County Court to set forth its findings of fact for denying [*2]defendant’s request for a downward departure as required … . People v Harvey, 2022 NY Slip Op 01073, Third Dept 2-17-22
