Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Wyoming County (Mark

proceeding. The judgment dismissed the petition.
It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal is unanimously dismissed
without costs.
Memorandum: Petitioner’s appeal from the judgment dismissing his
petition for a writ of habeas corpus has been rendered moot by his

State Dept. of Corrections, 94 AD3d 1410, 1410, lv denied 19 NY3d 807;
People ex rel. Kendricks v Smith, 52 AD2d 1090, 1090), and the
exception to the mootness doctrine does not apply (see Baron, 94 AD3d
at 1410; see generally Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707,
714-715).
