Vouté, Lohrfink, McAndrew, Meisner & Roberts, LLP, White Plains, NY (Howard S. Jacobowitz of counsel), for respondent.



Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 in the nature of mandamus to compel the respondent, Hal B. Greenwald, a Justice of the Supreme Court, Dutchess County, to determine petitions for a writ of habeas corpus in two proceedings entitled People ex rel. Miller v Russo , commenced in that court under Index Nos. 460/21 and 462/21, and application by the petitioner for poor person relief.

ORDERED that the application for poor person relief is granted to the extent that the filing fee imposed by CPLR 8022(b) is waived, and the application is otherwise denied as academic; and it is further,

ADJUDGED that the petition is denied as academic and the proceeding is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
