We show that if the canonical left semi-model structure on the category of Grothendieck n-groupoids exists, then it satisfies the homotopy hypothesis, i.e. the associated (∞,1)-category is equivalent to that of homotopy n-types, thus generalizing a result of the first-named author. As a corollary of the second named author's proof of the existence of the canonical left semi-model structure for Grothendieck 3-groupoids, we obtain a proof of the homotopy hypothesis for Grothendieck 3-groupoids.
