Opinion
December 27, 2000.
Appeal from Judgment of Supreme Court, Erie County, Sedita, Jr., J. — Habeas Corpus.
PRESENT: HAYES, J. P., HURLBUTT, SCUDDER, KEHOE AND LAWTON, JJ.
Appeal unanimously dismissed without costs.
Memorandum:
Petitioner appeals from a judgment denying his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner sought to prevent his transfer to Pennsylvania pursuant to that State's request for temporary custody made under the Interstate Agreement on Detainers ( see, CPL 580.20). This appeal has been rendered moot by the transfer of petitioner to Pennsylvania ( see, People ex rel. Matthews v. Sullivan, 165 A.D.2d 889, 890, lv denied 76 N.Y.2d 715), and petitioner's contentions do not fall within the exception to the mootness doctrine ( see, Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 N.Y.2d 707, 714-715).
