In the Matter of Corey D. WHITLOCK, Petitioner, v. Michael KIRKPATRICK, as Superintendent of Clinton Correctional Facility, Respondent.
Corey D. Whitlock, Dannemora, petitioner pro se. Eric T. Schneiderman, Attorney General, Albany (Marcus J. Mastracco of counsel), for respondent.
Corey D. Whitlock, Dannemora, petitioner pro se.
Eric T. Schneiderman, Attorney General, Albany (Marcus J. Mastracco of counsel), for respondent.
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of the Supreme Court, entered in Clinton 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 since 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 been granted all the relief to which he is entitled, the petition must be dismissed as moot (see Matter of Simmons v. Kirkpatrick, 142 A.D.3d 1245, 1245, 37 N.Y.S.3d 717 [2016] ).
ADJUDGED that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
PETERS, P.J., McCARTHY, LYNCH, CLARK and AARONS, JJ., concur.
