v
Warden, Rikers Island, Respondent-Respondent.
Richard Meyers, appellant pro se.
Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Grace Vee of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal from judgment (denominated an order), Supreme Court, New York County (Larry R.C. Stephen, J.), entered April 1, 2015, denying the petition for a writ of habeas corpus and dismissing the proceeding brought pursuant to CPLR article 70, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as moot.
This appeal challenging the legality of petitioner's preconviction detention is moot, since petitioner is currently incarcerated pursuant to a judgment of conviction (see People ex rel. Macgiollabhui v Schriro, 123 AD3d 633 [1st Dept 2014]).
Petitioner has failed to demonstrate the applicability of an exception to the mootness doctrine (see Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707, 714-715 [1980]).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
