In the Matter of Patrick Proctor, Petitioner, v Philip Coombe, Jr., as Commissioner of the Department of Correctional Services, et al., Respondents.
[649 NYS2d 832]

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

The Attorney-General has advised this Court by letter that respondents are not submitting a brief and requests that this proceeding be dismissed as moot inasmuch as the determination under review has been administratively reversed and ex-pungement has been directed. Because petitioner has received

all the relief to which he is entitled, the matter is moot and the petition is dismissed (see, Matter of Martin v Henderson, 159 AD2d 867 ).

Cardona, P. J., Mercure, Crew III, Yesawich Jr. and Carpinello, JJ., concur. Adjudged that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
