Opinion
January 19, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Chetta, J.).
Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
Since the petitioner has conceded that he "is currently being held on a [new] Supreme Court securing order", a decision on this appeal will not directly affect the rights of the parties. Thus, the issue raised is academic (see, Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 N.Y.2d 707; New York Pub. Interest Research Group v Regan, 91 A.D.2d 774, lv denied 58 N.Y.2d 610). This case does not, in our judgment, present a question that would warrant an exception to the mootness doctrine. Bracken, J.P., Brown, Weinstein and Spatt, JJ., concur.
