Opinion of the Court

Appeal dismissed, without costs, on the Court’s own motion and motion for leave to appeal dismissed, each upon the ground that relator has been released from custody and, therefore, his liberty is no longer restrained to such a degree as to entitle him to the extraordinary writ of habeas corpus (see, People ex rel. Wilder v Markley, 26 NY2d 648). Motion for poor person, relief dismissed as academic.
