The People of the State of New York ex rel. Abad Figueroa, Appellant, v Thomas Higgins, as Erie County Sheriff, Respondent.
[661 NYS2d 560]

—Appeal unanimously dismissed without costs. Memorandum: Relator contends that Supreme Court erred in denying his writ of habeas corpus based on City Court of Buffalo’s failure to comply with the mandates of CPL 180.80. Because relator has been released and the charges against him dismissed, his appeal is moot. (Appeal from Judgment of Supreme Court, Erie County, Rossetti, J.—Habeas Corpus.) Present—Green, J. P., Pine, Lawton, Do-err and Fallon, JJ.
