Opinion
MEMORANDUM:
Petitioner, an inmate in state prison, commenced this proceeding seeking a writ of habeas corpus, alleging that he was denied due process because, inter alia, respondent failed to afford him a preliminary or final parole revocation hearing. We conclude that Supreme Court properly dismissed the petition. As respondent points out, petitioner was not entitled to a revocation hearing because a parole warrant was not issued against him (see Executive Law § 259–i[3][a][i] ). In any event, petitioner was convicted of two felonies he committed while released on parole, and he was sentenced to indeterminate terms of imprisonment on those new felonies, whereupon his parole was revoked by operation of law pursuant to Executive Law § 259–i(3)(d)(iii) (see People ex rel. Daniels v. Beaver, 303 A.D.2d 1025, 1025, 757 N.Y.S.2d 195; Matter of Adams v. New York State Div. of Parole, 278 A.D.2d 621, 621, 720 N.Y.S.2d 211). Because petitioner's parole was revoked by operation of law, “a parole revocation hearing was not required” (People ex rel. Williams v. Kirkpatrick, 111 A.D.3d 1327, 1327–1328, 974 N.Y.S.2d 739; see People ex rel. Stevenson v. Beaver, 309 A.D.2d 1171, 1172, 765 N.Y.S.2d 291, lv. denied 1 N.Y.3d 506, 776 N.Y.S.2d 221, 808 N.E.2d 357).
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.
