MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT

Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding to challenge a prison disciplinary determination finding him guilty of violating the prison disciplinary rule that prohibits inmates from participating in demonstrations. The determination was administratively reversed on February 26, 2002 and all references thereto have been expunged from petitioner's institutional records. 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 Curtis v. Goord, 274 A.D.2d 808; Matter of Maldonado v. Miller, 259 A.D.2d 912).

Cardona, P.J., Crew III, Peters, Carpinello and Rose, JJ., concur.

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