Eric T. Schneiderman, Attorney General, Albany (Marcus J. Mastracco of counsel), for respondent.
Opinion
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of the Supreme Court, entered in Albany County) to review a determination of respondent finding petitioner guilty of violating a prison disciplinary rule.
Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging a tier II disciplinary determination finding him guilty of violating a prison disciplinary rule. The Attorney General has advised this Court that the disciplinary determination has been administratively reversed, all references thereto have been expunged from petitioner's institutional record and the mandatory $5 surcharge has been refunded to petitioner's inmate account. In view of this, and given that petitioner has received all of the relief to which he is entitled, the petition is dismissed as moot (see Matter of Rizzuto v. Prack, 134 A.D.3d 1263, 1263, 19 N.Y.S.3d 916 2015; Matter of Warmus v. Kaplan, 133 A.D.3d 1026, 1027, 18 N.Y.S.3d 897 2015 ).
ADJUDGED that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
McCARTHY, J.P., LYNCH, DEVINE and CLARK, JJ., concur.
