Opinion
No. 507328.
December 17, 2009.
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of the Supreme Court, entered in Ulster County) to review a determination of respondent which found petitioner guilty of violating certain prison disciplinary rules.
Ronnie Covington, Wallkill, petitioner pro se.
Andrew M. Cuomo, Attorney General, Albany (Marcus J. Mastracco of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Cardona, P.J., Lahtinen, Kane, Malone Jr. and Garry, JJ., concur.
Following a tier II disciplinary hearing, petitioner was found guilty of violating certain prison disciplinary rules. The determination was upheld on administrative appeal with a modified penalty. Thereafter, petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging the determination. The Attorney General has advised this Court that the determination has since been administratively reversed, all references thereto have been expunged from petitioner's institutional record and the mandatory $5 surcharge has been refunded. In view of this, and given that petitioner has received all the relief to which he is entitled, the matter is dismissed as moot ( see Matter of Terrance v Rock, 59 AD3d 794, lv denied 12 NY3d 710).
Adjudged that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
