—In a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 to vacate a parole warrant for failure to timely hold a parole revocation hearing, the petitioner appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Orange County (Peter C. Patsalos, J.), dated May 11, 2000, which denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The Supreme Court properly denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding. The period of time within which the respondent had to act did not begin to run until the petitioner was released from Federal custody. Only then could the petitioner be held in the respondent’s custody exclusively pursuant to the warrant he is now challenging. Since it is clear that this had not yet occurred when the petition was brought, the petition was premature, and therefore, properly dismissed (see, People ex rel. Matthews v New York State Div. of Parole, 95 NY2d 640). Krausman, J. P., S. Miller, McGinity and Schmidt, JJ., concur.
