Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department

161 A.D.2d 1160 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

May 11, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Livingston County, Houston, J.

Present — Dillon, P.J., Callahan, Denman, Balio and Lowery, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We agree that the petition in this CPLR article 78 proceeding must be dismissed, but for a reason different from that stated by Supreme Court. Petitioner sought a discharge from custody because he had not been served with a copy of the Parole Board's written decision revoking parole. Prior to joinder of issue, however, petitioner received the written decision. Under the circumstances, he received the relief to which he was entitled, and the proceeding should have been dismissed as moot.
