Heyward v. Heady

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 the Commissioner of Correctional Services which found petitioner guilty of violating a prison disciplinary rule.

Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging a determination finding him guilty of violating the prison disciplinary rule that prohibits damaging state property. The Attorney General has advised this Court by letter that the determination at issue has been administratively reversed and that all references thereto have been expunged from petitioner’s institutional record. 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 Beroo v Donelli, 4 AD3d 595 [2004]).

Crew III, J.P., Carpinello, Mugglin, Lahtinen and Kane, JJ., concur. Adjudged that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
