Washington v. Hoke

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Dec 6, 1990
168 A.D.2d 701 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

December 6, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Ulster County.


Petitioner's death renders this proceeding moot insofar as he can no longer be granted his request to annul the determination finding him guilty of violating certain disciplinary rules (see, Matter of Dean v. Tofany, 48 A.D.2d 964). Furthermore, petitioner's case does not involve issues likely to evade review or present significant or important questions not previously passed upon; therefore, his claims will not be addressed (see, Matter of Herald Co. v. O'Brien, 149 A.D.2d 781; Matter of Boodro v. Coughlin, 142 A.D.2d 820).

Petition dismissed, as moot, without costs. Mahoney, P.J., Weiss, Mikoll, Yesawich, Jr., and Harvey, JJ., concur.
