Opinion

December 6, 2001.

Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of the Supreme Court, entered in Essex County) to review a determination of respondent Commissioner of Correctional Services which found petitioner guilty of violating a prison disciplinary rule.

Ernest Saudners, Attica, petitioner pro se.

Eliot Spitzer, Attorney-General (Wayne L. Benjamin of counsel), Albany, for respondents.

Before: Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Peters, Carpinello and, Mugglin, JJ.


Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging a determination finding him guilty of violating the prison disciplinary rule against possessing contraband. The Attorney-General has advised this Court by letter that the determination at issue has been administratively reversed and all references thereto have been expunged from petitioner's institutional record. Inasmuch as petitioner has received all the relief to which he is entitled and is no longer aggrieved, the matter is dismissed as moot (see, Matter of Holmes v. Selsky, 283 A.D.2d 754; Matter of Maldonado v. Miller, 259 A.D.2d 912).

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