MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT

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 certain prison disciplinary rules.

Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging a determination made following a tier III disciplinary hearing finding him guilty of violating certain prison disciplinary rules. The Attorney General has advised this Court that the determination at issue has been administratively reversed, all references thereto have been expunged from petitioner's institutional record and the $5 mandatory surcharge has been refunded to petitioner's inmate account. Given that petitioner has received all of the relief to which he is entitled, the petition is dismissed as moot (see Matter of Little v Lee, 164 AD3d 1559, 1560 [2018]; Matter of Liggan v Rodriguez, 163 AD3d 1386, 1386-1387 [2018]).

Garry, P.J., Clark, Mulvey, Aarons and Rumsey, JJ., concur.

ADJUDGED that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
