Matter of Tafari v Fischer 2009 NY Slip Op 08542 [67 AD3d 1227] November 19, 2009 Appellate Division, Third Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, January 6, 2010

In the Matter of Injah Tafari, Appellant, v Brian S. Fischer, as Commissioner of Correctional Services, Respondent.

—[*1] Injah Tafari, Malone, appellant pro se.

Andrew M. Cuomo, Attorney General, Albany (Marcus J. Mastracco of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Feldstein, J.), entered February 27, 2009 in Clinton County, which dismissed petitioner's application, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, to review a determination of respondent finding petitioner guilty of violating a prison disciplinary rule.

Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding seeking to annul and expunge from his institutional record the administrative determination finding him guilty of failing to obey a direct order in violation of a prison disciplinary rule. The Attorney General has advised this Court that the determination at issue has been administratively reversed and all references thereto have been expunged from petitioner's institutional record. Inasmuch as petitioner has received all the relief he requested, this appeal is dismissed as moot (see Matter of Molano v Bezio, 60 AD3d 1233, 1234 [2009]; Matter of Correnti v Leclaire, 52 AD3d 1153, 1153 [2008]).

Spain, J.P., Rose, Stein, McCarthy and Garry, JJ., concur. Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
