In the Matter of BRAD
McCASKELL,
Petitioner,
v MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND
COMMUNITY SUPERVISION,
Respondent.
________________________________
Calendar Date: March 31, 2015
Before: Lahtinen, J.P., McCarthy, Lynch and Devine, JJ.
__________
Brad McCaskell, Gouverneur, 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 Albany County) to
review a determination of the Commissioner of Corrections and
Community Supervision which found petitioner guilty of violating
certain prison disciplinary rules.
Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding
challenging a disciplinary determination finding him guilty of
violating various 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. The record establishes that the penalty imposed
included loss of good time and, although not referenced in the
-2- 519629
Attorney General's letter, "we note that any loss of good time
incurred by petitioner as a result of the determination should be
restored" (Matter of Hayes v Annucci, 122 AD3d 992, 992 [2014]
[internal quotation marks and citation omitted]). In view of
this, and given that petitioner has otherwise received all of the
relief to which he is entitled, the matter is dismissed as moot
(see Matter of Ramos v Department of Corr. & Community
Supervision, 123 AD3d 1215, 1216 [2014]).
Lahtinen, J.P., McCarthy, Lynch and Devine, JJ., concur.
ADJUDGED that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without
costs.
