Corliss is from Malibu, Calif. He says he has made more than 1,000 jumps from structures and cliffs worldwide.
He was arrested in 2006 before he could parachute off the 102-story Manhattan landmark.
The 32-year-old daredevil and former host of the Discovery Channel's "Stunt Junkies" had faced a year in jail.
The judge says he received letters from Empire State Building officials and the police commissioner asking for jail time. But he says it wasn't warranted.
Corliss calls the judge "a wonderful man."
