Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York January 21, 2014 (People v. Scott)

*492Initially, we decline to dismiss this appeal on the ground that defendant has been deported (see People v Ventura, 17 NY3d 675, 679-680 [2011]). Although this is a civil appeal, we recognize the potential consequences of the SORA adjudication and conclude that defendant should be given an opportunity for intermediate appellate review of the issues presented here.
