Andrew M. Cuomo, Attorney General, Albany (Frank Brady of counsel), for
respondent.
Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Feldstein, J.), entered March 11, 2008 in Franklin County, which dismissed petitioner's application, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 70, without a hearing.
In 1991, petitioner was convicted of two counts of burglary in the second degree and two counts
of burglary in the third degree and was sentenced, respectively, to concurrent terms of 3 to 9 years and
2
In October 2007, petitioner brought the instant application for a writ of habeas corpus alleging, among other things, that he is being illegally detained because he did not receive a final [*2]parole revocation hearing within 90 days of the preliminary parole revocation hearing in violation of Executive Law § 259-i (3) (f) (i). Supreme Court dismissed petitioner's application without a hearing. This appeal ensued.
We affirm. Regardless of the merits of petitioner's claim that he was not afforded a final parole revocation hearing in accordance with the requirements of Executive Law § 259-i (3) (f) (i), he is presently incarcerated due to his 1994 convictions of robbery in the second degree which provide an independent basis for revoking his parole pursuant to Executive Law § 259-i (3) (d) (iii) (see People ex rel. Camarano v Costello, 306 AD2d 885, 885 [2003], lv dismissed 100 NY2d 602 [2003]; Matter of Oquendo v Travis, 300 AD2d 773, 773 [2002]). Inasmuch as petitioner is not entitled to immediate release under the circumstances presented, habeas corpus relief is unavailable (see People ex rel. Brown v New York State Div. of Parole, 70 NY2d 391, 398 [1987]). Therefore, his application was properly dismissed.
Cardona, P.J., Spain, Lahtinen, Kane and Stein, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
