David J. Pajak, Alden, for defendant-appellant.

Vincent A. Hemming, District Attorney, Warsaw, for respondent.

Appeal from a judgment of the Wyoming County Court (Michael M. Mohun, J.), rendered April 6, 2023. The judgment convicted defendant upon a plea of guilty of driving while intoxicated, as a class E felony.

It is hereby ordered that said appeal is unanimously dismissed

Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment convicting him upon his guilty plea of driving while intoxicated as a class E felony (Vehicle and Traffic Law §§ 1192 [3]; 1193 [1] [c] [i] [A]), defendant contends that his sentence is unduly harsh and severe. Because defendant has completed serving the sentence imposed, his challenge to the severity of the sentence has been rendered moot (see People v Savino, 239 AD3d 1452, 1454 [4th Dept 2025]; People v Fulcott, 236 AD3d 1350, 1350 [4th Dept 2025]; People v Ismael, 210 AD3d 1528, 1529-1530 [4th Dept 2022]), and we conclude that the exception to the mootness doctrine does not apply (see generally Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707, 714-715 [1980]; People v Parente, 4 AD3d 793, 794 [4th Dept 2004]). Present—Lindley, J.P., Bannister, Greenwood, Nowak and Hannah, JJ.
