27 A.D.3d 920 (N.Y. App. Div. 2006)

Opinion

98146.

March 16, 2006.

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 which found petitioner guilty of violating certain prison disciplinary rules.

David Ayala, Rome, petitioner pro se.

Eliot Spitzer, Attorney General, Albany (Wayne L. Benjamin of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Cardona, P.J., Crew III, Peters, Mugglin and Kane, JJ., concur.


Petitioner was found guilty of violating the prison disciplinary rules prohibiting inmates from fighting, creating a disturbance and engaging in violent conduct after he had a physical altercation with another inmate. The charge of fighting was dismissed on administrative appeal, but the rest of the determination was upheld. Petitioner then commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging it.

The Attorney General has advised this Court that the determination has been administratively reversed and all references thereto expunged from petitioner's institutional record. Since petitioner has received all of the relief to which he is entitled and is no longer aggrieved, the petition must be dismissed as moot ( see Matter of Basden v. Goord, 19 AD3d 838).

Adjudged that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
