OPINION OF THE COURT

Order reversed, without costs, and the matter remitted to Supreme Court, Washington County, with directions to dismiss the proceeding on the ground that the issues presented are moot. Petitioners are no longer confined in special housing and thus subjected to the restricted diet, want of medical care and lack of exercise of which they complain.

Concur: Chief Judge Cooke and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Meyer.
