Eric T. Schneiderman, Attorney General, Albany (William E. Storrs of Counsel), for respondent-respondent.
MEMORANDUM:
Petitioner appeals from a judgment dismissing his petition pursuant to CPLR article 78 seeking to annul the determination denying him parole release. The Attorney General has advised this Court that, subsequent to that denial, petitioner reappeared before the Board of Parole in May of 2016 and was again denied release. Consequently, this appeal must be dismissed as moot (see Matter of Sanchez v. Evans, 111 A.D.3d 1315, 1315, 974 N.Y.S.2d 832 ). Contrary to petitioner's contention, this matter does not fall within the exception to the mootness doctrine (see id. ).
It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal is unanimously dismissed without costs.
PERADOTTO, J.P., CARNI, CURRAN, TROUTMAN, and SCUDDER, JJ., concur.
