Gary Gillard, Attica, petitioner pro se. Eric T. Schneiderman, Attorney General, Albany (Peter H. Schiff of counsel), for respondents.
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of the Supreme Court, entered in Albany County) to review a determination of respondent Superintendent of Shawangunk Correctional Facility which found petitioner guilty of violating a prison disciplinary rule.
Petitioner, a prison inmate, commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding to challenge a tier II disciplinary determination finding him guilty of creating a disturbance. The Attorney General has informed this Court that, during the pendency of this proceeding, the determination has been administratively reversed, all references thereto have been expunged from petitioner's institutional record and the mandatory surcharge has been refunded to his inmate account. Inasmuch as petitioner has received all the relief to which he is entitled, the petition must be dismissed as moot ( see Matter of Santiago v. Fischer, 101 A.D.3d 1206, 1206, 954 N.Y.S.2d 505 [2012];*392Matter of Sykes v. Fischer, 98 A.D.3d 769, 770, 950 N.Y.S.2d 282 [2012] ). Petitioner's request in his reply brief for, among other things, lost wages and copying costs is denied ( see Matter of Harrison v. Brooks, 32 A.D.3d 1087, 1088, 820 N.Y.S.2d 818 [2006] ).
ADJUDGED that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
