THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK EX REL. STEPHAN HOUSTON, PETITIONER–APPELLANT, v. ANTHONY ANNUCCI, ACTING COMMISSIONER, NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND COMMUNITY SUPERVISION, RESPONDENT–RESPONDENT.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal is unanimously dismissed without costs.
Memorandum: Petitioner appeals from a judgment dismissing his petition for a writ of habeas corpus in which he sought release from state prison on the ground that his parole revocation hearing was not held within 90 days of his waiver of his right to a preliminary hearing (see Executive Law § 259–i[3] [f][i]; People ex rel. Gray v. Campbell, 241 A.D.2d 723, 724). Inasmuch as petitioner has again been released to parole supervision, this appeal is moot (see People ex rel. Yourdon v. Semrau, 133 AD3d 1351, 1351; People ex rel. Aikens v. Brown, 103 AD3d 1212, 1213). We conclude that the exception to the mootness doctrine does not apply (see Yourdon, 133 AD3d at 1351; Brown, 103 AD3d at 1213; see generally Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 N.Y.2d 707, 714–715).
Frances E. Cafarell
Clerk of the Court
