Matter of Covington v. Coughlin

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Dec 21, 1995
222 A.D.2d 911 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

December 21, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Washington County.


As the result of an inmate disturbance at Great Meadow Correctional Facility in Washington County, defendant was found guilty of violating prison disciplinary rules prohibiting rioting and fighting. He challenges this determination on a number of grounds. However, in view of the fact that this determination has been administratively reversed and the references to the disciplinary hearing expunged from petitioner's records since the commencement of this proceeding, we find that the matter is now moot. Accordingly, we need not address the merits of petitioner's claims.

Mikoll, J.P., White, Casey, Peters and Spain, JJ., concur. Adjudged that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
