[*1]IN THE MATTER OF ARMAND SUAREZ, PETITIONER-APPELLANT,

v

BRIAN FISCHER, COMMISSIONER, NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND COMMUNITY SUPERVISION, RESPONDENT-RESPONDENT.


Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Wyoming County (Mark H. Dadd, A.J.), entered July 26, 2012 in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78. The judgment dismissed the petition.


WYOMING COUNTY-ATTICA LEGAL AID BUREAU, WARSAW (ADAM W. KOCH OF COUNSEL), FOR PETITIONER-APPELLANT.
ERIC T. SCHNEIDERMAN, ATTORNEY GENERAL, ALBANY (LAURA ETLINGER OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT-RESPONDENT.


It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal is unanimously dismissed without costs.

Memorandum: Petitioner appeals from a judgment dismissing his petition seeking to annul the Parole Board's determination denying him parole release. We conclude that the "appeal must be dismissed as moot because the determination expired during the pendency of this appeal, and the Parole Board denied petitioner's subsequent request for parole release" (Matter of Robles v Evans, 100 AD3d 1455, 1455 [internal quotation marks omitted]).
