________________________________
In the Matter of CURTIS STAYS,
Petitioner,
v MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT
ANTHONY J. ANNUCCI, as Acting
Commissioner of Corrections
and Community Supervision,
Respondent.
________________________________
Calendar Date: June 6, 2016
Before: McCarthy, J.P., Rose, Lynch, Mulvey and Aarons, JJ.
__________
Curtis Stays, Malone, 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 respondent 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 $5
mandatory surcharge was not charged to petitioner's inmate
account. In view of this, and given that petitioner has been
granted all the relief to which he is entitled, the petition must
be dismissed as moot (see Matter of Daum v Venettozzi, 136 AD3d
-2- 522251
1096, 1096-1097 [2016]). Contrary to his request, petitioner is
not entitled to be restored to the status he enjoyed prior to the
disciplinary determination (see Matter of West v Annucci, 134
AD3d 1379, 1380 [2015]).
McCarthy, J.P., Rose, Lynch, Mulvey and Aarons, JJ.,
concur.
ADJUDGED that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without
costs.
