Before:Garry, P.J., Aarons, Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Colangelo, JJ.

Anthony Adams, Elmira, petitioner pro se.

Letitia James, Attorney General, Albany (Kate H. Nepveu of counsel), for respondent.

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 to challenge a tier III disciplinary determination finding him guilty of violating certain prison disciplinary rules. The Attorney General has advised this Court that the determination has been administratively reversed and all references thereto have been expunged from petitioner's institutional record, and that the mandatory $5 surcharge was never deducted from petitioner's inmate account. Petitioner has accordingly received all the relief to which he is entitled and the petition must be dismissed as moot (see Matter of Shepherd v Annucci, 193 AD3d 1134, 1134 [2021]; Matter of Vilella v Annucci, 185 AD3d 1362, 1362 [2020]).

Garry, P.J., Aarons, Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Colangelo, JJ., concur.

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