The People of the State of New York, ex rel. Robert Conklin, Appellant, against New York State Division of Parole et al., Respondents.
   Order unanimously affirmed, without costs. This proceeding was erroneously treated toy respondents as an application for a writ of habeas corpus. The petition states that the “proceeding is initiated under Article 78 of the Civil Practice Act * *' * to compel the herein designated respondents to perform the duties specifically enjoined by law.” The petitioner claims that the Parole Board failed to give him a hearing as required by section 218 of the Correction Law before passing upon charges relating to misconduct while a prison inmate. We find that appellant had a hearing -before the board that satisfied the requirements of that section of the Correction Law. Therefore, it is unnecessary to pass upon the scope and extent of judicial review available where a hearing has been had. (Cf. Matter of Hines v. State Board of Parole, 293 N. Y. 254, 257; Matter of Razukas v. New York State Dept. of Correction, 186 Misc. 429, 433, aff’d. 270 App. Div. 1074). Concur — Breitel, J. P., Rabin, M. M. Frank, Stevens and Bastow, JJ.
