SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
             Appellate Division, Fourth Judicial Department

CA 13-01787
PRESENT: SMITH, J.P., PERADOTTO, CARNI, VALENTINO, AND WHALEN, JJ.

IN THE MATTER OF CHARLES VENTURA,
PETITIONER-APPELLANT,

                     V                            MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

BRIAN FISCHER, COMMISSIONER, NEW YORK STATE
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND COMMUNITY
SUPERVISION, RESPONDENT-RESPONDENT.

WYOMING COUNTY-ATTICA LEGAL AID BUREAU, WARSAW (LEAH R. NOWOTARSKI OF
COUNSEL), FOR PETITIONER-APPELLANT.

ERIC T. SCHNEIDERMAN, ATTORNEY GENERAL, ALBANY (JULIE M. SHERIDAN OF
COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT-RESPONDENT.

     Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Wyoming County (Mark
H. Dadd, A.J.), entered August 19, 2013 in a proceeding pursuant to
CPLR article 78. The judgment dismissed the petition.

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

     Memorandum: Petitioner appeals from a judgment dismissing his
petition pursuant to CPLR article 78 in which he sought to annul the
Parole Board’s determination denying his request for release to parole
supervision. “This appeal must be dismissed as moot because the
determination expired during the pendency of this appeal, and the
Parole Board denied petitioner’s subsequent request for parole
release” (Matter of Patterson v Berbary, 1 AD3d 943, 943, appeal
dismissed and lv denied 2 NY3d 731; see Matter of Robles v Evans, 100
AD3d 1455, 1455). Contrary to petitioner’s contention, the exception
to the mootness doctrine does not apply (see generally Matter of
Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707, 714-715).

Entered:   November 14, 2014                    Frances E. Cafarell
                                                Clerk of the Court
