[*1] In re Donna T. Anthony, M.D., etc., Petitioner-Respondent,

v

Jerry ., Respondent-Appellant.

Marvin Bernstein, Mental Hygiene Legal Service, New York (Margo Flug of counsel), for appellant.

Garfunkel Wild, P.C., Great Neck (Eve Green Koopersmith of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from order, Supreme Court, New York County (Frank P. Nervo, J.), entered October 24, 2018, which, inter alia, granted petitioner's motion to renew its motion for involuntary medication of respondent and, upon renewal, authorized petitioner to administer such emergency medications as it deemed necessary, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as moot.

As petitioner has been released from involuntary hospitalization under Mental Hygiene Law § 9.27, we find, on the record before us, that the instant appeal is now moot.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.

ENTERED: JANUARY 7, 2020
