Opinion
May 2, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Albany County.
Petitioner, a prison inmate, commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging an administrative determination finding him guilty of refusing a direct order and interfering with a prison employee. While he raises a number of claims, we find it unnecessary to address them because the administrative determination has been reversed and all references to the disciplinary hearing expunged from petitioner's records since the commencement of this proceeding. Accordingly, the petition must be dismissed as moot ( see, Matter of Covington v. Coughlin, 222 A.D.2d 911; Matter of Gaines v. Bartlett, 221 A.D.2d 775).
Mikoll, J.P., Mercure, White, Casey and Peters, JJ., concur. Adjudged that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
