This appeal is moot because the three-month period has expired, and this case does not fall within the exception to the mootness doctrine ( see generally Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce v Pataki, 100 NY2d 801, 811, cert denied 540 US 1017; Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707, 714-715; Matter of Schutt v Norwich Cent. School Dist., 130 AD2d 891).
