Maldonado v. Miller
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided March 18, 1999
259 A.D.2d 912; 687 N.Y.S.2d 305; 1999 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 2548
Maldonado v. Miller

Opinion of the Court

Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of the Supreme Court, entered in Ulster County) to review a determination of respondent which found petitioner guilty of violating a prison disciplinary rule.

Petitioner, a prison inmate, commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging a prison disciplinary determination finding him guilty of fighting. The determination has since been annulled and all references thereto expunged from petitioner’s institutional records. Inasmuch as petitioner has received all the relief to which he is entitled and is no longer aggrieved, the matter is dismissed as moot (see, Matter of Witherspoon v Goord, 243 AD2d 931).

Cardona, P. J., Crew III, Yesawich Jr., Carpinello and Graffeo, JJ., concur. Adjudged that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
