The People of The State of New York ex rel. Kenneth Moore, Appellant, v John Lempke, Superintendent, Five Points Correctional Facility, et al., Respondents.

[*1] Charles J. Greenberg, Amherst, for petitioner-appellant.

Eric T. Schneiderman, Attorney General, Albany (Zainab A. Chaudhry of counsel), for respondents-respondents.

Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Seneca County (Dennis F. Bender, A.J.), entered July 14, 2011 in a habeas corpus proceeding. The judgment dismissed the petition.

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

Memorandum: This appeal by petitioner from a judgment dismissing his petition seeking a writ of habeas corpus has been rendered moot by his release to parole supervision (see People ex rel. Hampton v Dennison, 59 AD3d 951, 951 [2009], lv denied 12 NY3d 711 [2009]). Contrary to petitioner's contention, no exception to the mootness doctrine is present under the circumstances of this case (see id.; People ex rel. Limmer v McKinney, 23 AD3d 806, 807 [2005]). Present—Smith, J.P., Peradotto, Carni, Sconiers and Whalen, JJ.
