Before:   Peters, P.J., Garry, Lynch, Devine and Aarons, JJ.

                               __________

     Tony Williams, Auburn, petitioner pro se.

      Eric T. Schneiderman, Attorney General, Albany (Marcus J.
Mastracco of counsel), for respondent.

                               __________

      Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this
Court by order of the Supreme Court, entered in Albany County) to
review a determination of the Commissioner of Corrections and
Community Supervision finding petitioner guilty of violating a
prison disciplinary rule.

      Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding
challenging a prison disciplinary determination. The Attorney
General has advised this Court that the determination has been
administratively reversed, all references thereto have been
expunged from petitioner's institutional record and the mandatory
$5 surcharge has been refunded to petitioner's inmate account.
In view of this, petitioner has received all of the relief to
which he is entitled and the petition must be dismissed as moot
                              -2-                  521889

(see Matter of Vail v Bedard, 136 AD3d 1096 [2016]; Matter of
Kagan v Lewin, 134 AD3d 1386 [2015]).

     Peters, P.J., Garry, Lynch, Devine and Aarons, JJ., concur.

      ADJUDGED that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without
costs.

                             ENTER:

                             Robert D. Mayberger
