Reginald McFadden, Attica, petitioner pro se.
Eric T. Schneiderman, Attorney General, Albany (Marcus J.
Mastracco of counsel), for respondents.
__________
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 to
challenge a tier III determination finding him guilty of
violating a prison disciplinary rule. The Attorney General has
advised this Court that the determination has since 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.
-2- 523205
Given that petitioner has received all of the relief to which he
is entitled, the petition must be dismissed as moot (see Matter
of James v Prack, 137 AD3d 1390, 1391 [2016]).
McCarthy, J.P., Garry, Lynch, Rose and Devine, JJ., concur.
ADJUDGED that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without
costs.
