Opinion:
Order affirmed, without costs of this appeal to either party. Memorandum: By virtue of the conditions annexed to the Governor's commutation of relator's definite sentence, the appellant became subject to the jurisdiction of the Board of Parole, as provided in section 218 of the Correction Law. (People ex rel. Ross v. Wilson, 275 N. Y. 169; People ex rel. La Fortuna v. Brophy, 253 App. Div. 871; affd., 278 N. Y. 640; People ex rel. Ross v. Lawes, 242 App. Div. 638.)

(The order dismisses a writ of habeas corpus and remands relator into custody.) Present — Sears, P. J., Crosby, Lewis, Taylor and Dowling, JJ.
