In the Matter of Ronaldo Rivera, Petitioner, v Glenn S. Goord, as Commissioner of the Department of Correctional Services, et al., Respondents.
[691 NYS2d 365]

Opinion:
—Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of the Supreme Court, entered in Clinton County) to review a determination of respondent Commissioner of Correctional Services which found petitioner guilty of violating certain prison disciplinary rules.
The Attorney General has advised this Court that the determination at issue has been administratively reversed and that all references to the disciplinary hearing were expunged from petitioner's institutional record. Inasmuch as petitioner has received all the relief to which he is entitled and is no longer aggrieved, the matter is dismissed as moot (see, Matter of Witherspoon v Goord, 243 AD2d 931).
Mikoll, J. P., Mercure, Peters, Spain and Carpinello, JJ., concur. Adjudged that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
