The People of the State of New York ex rel. Lee Higgs, Appellant, v Superintendent, Arthur Kill Correctional Facility, et al., Respondents.
Argued January 9, 1979;
decided February 8, 1979

Appeal dismissed, without costs, on the ground that relator has been released on parole and, therefore, his liberty is no longer restrained to such a degree as to entitle him to the extraordinary writ of habeas corpus (People ex rel. Wilder v Markley, 26 NY2d 648 ).
