Opinion

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Eileen A. Rakower, J.), entered November 28, 2014, dismissing the petition seeking, inter alia, to annul the determination to deny petitioner's release to parol supervision, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The petition was properly dismissed as moot, because while the instant proceeding was pending, petitioner was granted her release to parole supervision (see e.g. Matter of Beltran v. New York State Bd. of Parole, 105 A.D.3d 1224, 962 N.Y.S.2d 919 3d Dept.2013; Matter of Wingate v. New York State Div. of Parole, 50 A.D.3d 1336, 854 N.Y.S.2d 685 3d Dept.2008 ). We have considered petitioner's contentions that the matter is not moot, and find them unavailing.
