Head Matter:
In the Matter of John Banchs Rivera, Appellant, v Robert Dennison, as Chair of the Board of Parole, Respondent.
[860 NYS2d 757]

Opinion:
Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Lynch, J.), entered November 8, 2007 in Albany County, which granted petitioner's application, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, to annul a determination of the Board of Parole denying petitioner's request for parole release.
Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding seeking to annul a May 2006 determination of the Board of Parole denying his request for parole release and imposing a 24-month hold. Supreme Court granted the petition based upon the Board's failure to obtain and consider petitioner's sentencing minutes and remitted this matter for a new hearing.
In view of the fact that Supreme Court granted petitioner's application and remitted this matter for a new hearing, which petitioner received, petitioner was not an aggrieved party within the meaning of CPLR 5511 (see Matter of Habib v Motor Veh. Acc. Indem. Corp., 30 AD3d 422, 423 [2006]; Matter of Alvarez v State Bd. of Parole, 74 AD2d 684 [1980]).
Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Rose, Lahtinen and Kane, JJ., concur. Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
