DECISION, ORDER & JUDGMENT
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, inter alia, in the nature of mandamus to compel the respondent Dena Douglas, a Justice of the Supreme Court, Kings County, to determine a motion in an action entitled People v Steadman, pending in that court under Indictment No. 787/16, and application by the petitioner for poor person relief.
ORDERED that the application for poor person relief is granted to the extent that the filing fee imposed by CPLR 8022(b) is waived, and the application is otherwise denied as academic; and it is further, ADJUDGED that the petition is denied as academic and the proceeding is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
On December 5, 2022, the respondent Dena Douglas issued an order determining the subject motion. Accordingly, this proceeding has been rendered academic.
The petitioner's remaining contentions are without merit.
BARROS, J.P., MALTESE, DOWLING and VOUTSINAS, JJ., concur.
