In the Matter of George Lamb, Petitioner, v Brian S. Fischer, as Commissioner of Correctional Services, et al., Respondents.

[*1] George Lamb, Moravia, petitioner pro se.

Andrew M. Cuomo, Attorney General, Albany (Peter H. Schiff of counsel), for respondents.

Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of the Supreme Court, entered in Albany County) to review a determination of respondent which found petitioner guilty of violating certain prison disciplinary rules.

Petitioner, a prison inmate, commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging a tier III disciplinary determination which found him guilty of counterfeiting and possession of stolen property. The Attorney General has advised this Court that the determination in issue has been administratively reversed and all references thereto have been expunged from petitioner's institutional record. Thus, because petitioner has been afforded all of the relief to which he is entitled, this matter is now dismissed as moot (see Matter of Lewis v Goord, 43 AD3d 1240 [2007]).

Mercure, J.P., Peters, Carpinello, Kane and Malone Jr., JJ., concur. Adjudged that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
