     Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Oneida County
(Bernadette T. Clark, J.), entered June 2, 2011. The order, among
other things, determined that respondent lacked the capacity to make a
reasoned decision concerning his own treatment and adjudged that
certain medication may be administered to respondent over his
objection.

     Now, upon reading and filing the stipulation of discontinuance
signed by the attorneys for the parties on July 16, 2012,

     It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal is unanimously dismissed
without costs upon stipulation.
