The Attorney General has advised this Court that, during the pendency of this appeal, petitioner reappeared before the Board in December 2022 and his request for parole release was again denied. In view of petitioner's reappearance before the Board, the instant appeal is now moot and, finding the exception to the mootness doctrine inapplicable under the circumstances, the appeal must be dismissed (see Matter of Letizia v Fitzpatrick, 192 A.D.3d 1283, 1284 [3d Dept 2021], lv denied 37 N.Y.3d 908 [2021]; Matter of Smith v Commissioner of N.Y. State Bd. of Parole, 189 A.D.3d 1804, 1804 [3d Dept 2020]).
