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 prison disciplinary determination. 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. Although not referenced in the letter from the Attorney General, in the event that any loss of good time was incurred as a result -2- 519874 of the determination, it should be restored (see Matter of Laliveres v Prack, 125 AD3d 1029, 1029 [2015]). Otherwise, given that petitioner has received all of the relief to which he is entitled, the proceeding is dismissed as moot (see Matter of Ramos v Department of Corr. & Community Supervision, 123 AD3d 1215, 1215 [2014]). Garry, J.P., Egan Jr., Devine and Clark, JJ., concur. ADJUDGED that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs. ENTER: Robert D. Mayberger Clerk of the Court
