MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT
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 certain prison disciplinary rules.
Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging a tier II determination finding him guilty of violating certain prison disciplinary rules. The Attorney General has advised this Court that the 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. To the extent that petitioner seeks to be restored to the status he enjoyed prior to the disciplinary determination, he is not entitled to that relief (see Matter of Ortiz v. Venettozzi, 167 A.D.3d 1200, 1200, 87 N.Y.S.3d 909 [2018] ; Matter of Boeck v. Annucci, 165 A.D.3d 1334, 1334, 82 N.Y.S.3d 748 [2018] ). Given that petitioner has received all the relief to which he is entitled, the petition must be dismissed as moot (see Matter of Billups v. Annucci, 170 A.D.3d 1300, 1301, 93 N.Y.S.3d 914 [2019] ; Matter of Williams v. Chappius, 169 A.D.3d 1151, 1151, 91 N.Y.S.3d 904 [2019] ). As the record reflects that petitioner has paid a reduced filing fee of $50, and he has requested reimbursement thereof, we grant petitioner's request for that amount.
Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Clark, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Colangelo, JJ., concur.
ADJUDGED that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs, but with disbursements in the amount of $50.
