Read the official decision: 2026 NY Slip Op 04704
Holding The appeal is dismissed because the record is insufficient for meaningful review as the defendant failed to include the risk assessment instrument and case summary. Additionally, the defendant’s challenge to specific risk factors is academic because he would still qualify as a level two risk even without the disputed points.
