Opinion
Appeal from judgment (denominated an order), Supreme Court, New York County (Larry R.C. Stephen, J.), entered April 1, 2015, denying the petition for a writ of habeas corpus and dismissing the proceeding brought pursuant to CPLR article 70, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as moot.
This appeal challenging the legality of petitioner's preconviction detention is moot, since petitioner is currently incarcerated pursuant to a judgment of conviction (see People ex rel. Macgiollabhui v. Schriro, 123 A.D.3d 633, 997 N.Y.S.2d 624 1st Dept.2014 ).
Petitioner has failed to demonstrate the applicability of an exception to the mootness doctrine (see Matter of Hearst Corp. v. Clyne, 50 N.Y.2d 707, 714–715, 431 N.Y.S.2d 400, 409 N.E.2d 876 1980 ).
