Matter of Gerena v. New York S. Div., Parole

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Mar 1, 2001
281 A.D.2d 675 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001)

Opinion

March 1, 2001.

Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Lamont, J.), entered June 14, 2000 in Albany County, which dismissed petitioner's application, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, to review a determination of the Board of Parole denying petitioner's request for parole release.

Charles W. Gerena, Wallkill, appellant in person.

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

Before: Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Peters, Spain and Mugglin, JJ.


MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging a November 1997 determination denying his request for parole release. Inasmuch as petitioner reappeared before the Board of Parole in November 1999 and was again denied release, Supreme Court properly dismissed the matter as moot (see, Matter of White v. New York State Bd. Parole, 271 A.D.2d 777). Furthermore, we are unpersuaded by petitioner's assertion that this matter presents an exception to the mootness doctrine (see, Matter of Diaz v. Travis, 273 A.D.2d 568, lv denied 95 N.Y.2d 764).

Petitioner's remaining contentions have been reviewed and found to be without merit.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
