Matter of Arriaga v. Capra

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 certain prison disciplinary rules.

Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging a tier II determination finding him guilty of violating certain prison disciplinary rules. 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 mandatory $5 surcharge has been refunded to petitioner’s inmate account. In view of this, petitioner has been granted all the relief to which he is entitled and the petition must be dismissed as moot (see Matter of Slide v Russo, 151 AD3d 1518, 1518 [2017]; Matter of Tolliver v Fischer, 140 AD3d 1507, 1508 [2016]).

Adjudged that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
