Matter of James v. Prack

State of New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division Third Judicial Department Decided and Entered: March 10, 2016 521177 ________________________________ In the Matter of TERRENCE JAMES, Petitioner, v MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT ALBERT PRACK, as Director of Special Housing and Inmate Disciplinary Programs, Respondent. ________________________________ Calendar Date: January 19, 2016 Before: Peters, P.J., Egan Jr., Lynch and Devine, JJ. __________ Terrence James, Attica, 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 finding petitioner guilty of violating a prison disciplinary rule. Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging a determination finding him guilty of violating a prison disciplinary rule following a tier III disciplinary hearing. 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 his inmate account. Given that petitioner has received all of the relief to -2- 521177 which he is entitled, the petition is dismissed as moot (see Matter of Gunn v Annucci, 133 AD3d 989, 990 [2015]). Peters, P.J., Egan Jr., Lynch and Devine, JJ., concur. ADJUDGED that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs. ENTER: Robert D. Mayberger Clerk of the Court
