Matter of Allain M. v. Margulis
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided May 3, 2017 · Mastro, Leventhal, Barros, Nelson

Matter of Allain M. v. Margulis

Opinion

Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 in the nature of prohibition to prohibit the respondents from enforcing a provision of an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County, and in the nature of mandamus to compel Ira H. Margulis, a Justice of the Supreme Court, Queens County, to issue an amended order.

Adjugded that the proceeding is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.

This proceeding has been rendered academic in light of a subsequent order of the Supreme Court, Queens County, which vacated the order that is the subject of this proceeding. This case does not present an exception to the mootness doctrine (see Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707, 716-717 [1980]). Accordingly, the proceeding must be dismissed.

Mastro, J.P., Leventhal, Barros and Brathwaite Nelson, JJ., concur.
