__________
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this
Court by order of the Supreme Court, entered in Clinton County)
to review a determination of respondent finding petitioner guilty
of violating certain prison disciplinary rules.
Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding to
challenge a tier II disciplinary determination finding him guilty
of violating certain 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 his inmate account. In view of
this, and given that petitioner has received all of the relief to
which he is entitled, the petition is dismissed as moot

Lahtinen, J.P., Egan Jr., Lynch, Devine and Mulvey, JJ.,
concur.

costs.
