In the Matter of Thomas Gray et al., Appellants, v Everett W. Jones, as Superintendent of Great Meadow Correctional Facility, et al., Respondents.
    Argued June 8, 1982;
    decided June 17, 1982
    
      APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
    
      Dennis A. Kaufman and David Leven for appellants.
    
      Robert Abrams, Attorney-General (Diane De Furio Foody and Peter H. Schiff of counsel), for respondents.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

Order reversed, without costs, and the matter remitted to Supreme Court, Washington County, with directions to dismiss the proceeding on the ground that the issues presented are moot. Petitioners are no longer confined in special housing and thus subjected to the restricted diet, want of medical care and lack of exercise of which they complain.

Concur: Chief Judge Cooke and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Meyer.
