Head Matter:
In the Matter of Dana Gibson, Appellant, v Michael P. McGinnis, as Superintendent of Southport Correctional Facility, et al., Respondents.
[691 NYS2d 586]

Opinion:
—Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Ellison, J.), entered September 15, 1998 in Chemung County, which, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, granted respondents' motion to dismiss the petition for failure to state a cause of action.
Following a tier III disciplinary hearing at which petitioner pleaded guilty to creating a disturbance, petitioner was found guilty of three additional charges of violating various prison disciplinary rules. On administrative appeal, all charges, except that of creating a disturbance, were dismissed and the penalty was modified accordingly. Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging the disciplinary determination. Upon motion by respondents, the petition was dismissed for failure to state a cause of action. Petitioner's contention on appeal, that he was denied the right to call a witness at the hearing, relates to the charges that were administratively reversed. Inasmuch as petitioner has received all the relief to which he is entitled and is no longer aggrieved, we find that Supreme Court properly dismissed the proceeding (see, Matter of Wong v Coughlin, 182 AD2d 926, 927; Matter of Taylor v Kennedy, 159 AD2d 827).
Mikoll, J. P., Mercure, Yesawich Jr., Peters and Carpinello, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
