In the Matter of Edwin Lamage, Petitioner, v Brian Fischer, as Commissioner of Correctional Services, Respondent.

[*1] Edwin Lamage, Ossining, petitioner pro se.

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

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 commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging a determination finding him guilty of violating two prison disciplinary rules. The Attorney General has advised this Court that the determination has been administratively reversed and that all references thereto have been expunged from petitioner's institutional record. Given that petitioner has been granted all the relief to which he is entitled and is no longer aggrieved, the matter must be dismissed as moot (see Matter of Medina v Selsky, 28 AD3d 898, 898 [2006]; Matter of Basden v Goord, 19 AD3d 838, 839 [2005]).

Spain, J.P., Rose, Kavanagh, Stein and Egan Jr., JJ., concur. Adjudged that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs, but with a refund of the mandatory surcharge in the amount of $5.
