Matter of Ruzhoi Lataj v Brion D. Travis

Matter of Lataj v Travis 2005 NY Slip Op 03725 [18 AD3d 931] May 5, 2005 Appellate Division, Third Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, July 20, 2005

In the Matter of Ruzhoi Lataj, Appellant, v Brion D. Travis, as Chair of the Board of Parole, Respondent.

—[*1]Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Connor, J.), entered August 5, 2004 in Albany County, which dismissed petitioner's application, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, to review a determination of the Board of Parole denying petitioner's request for parole release.

Since the April 23, 2003 determination giving rise to this CPLR article 78 proceeding, petitioner has reappeared before the Board of Parole and his request for parole release has again been denied. Given petitioner's subsequent reappearance before the Board in April 2005, the instant matter must be dismissed as moot (see Matter of Baez v Travis, 10 AD3d 778 [2004], lv denied 4 NY3d 702 [2004]).

Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Spain, Carpinello and Rose, JJ., concur. Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
