THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK RESPONDENT v. MICHAEL ADAMS DEFENDANT APPELLANT (2026)

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department, New York.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT, v. MICHAEL ADAMS, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

272 Decided: June 05, 2026

PRESENT: WHALEN, P.J., BANNISTER, MONTOUR, GREENWOOD, AND HANNAH, JJ.

JULIE CIANCA, PUBLIC DEFENDER, ROCHESTER (JANE I. YOON OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT. BRIAN P. GREEN, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, ROCHESTER (LISA GRAY OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal is unanimously dismissed.

Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment revoking the sentence of probation imposed upon his conviction, following his plea of guilty, of driving while intoxicated as a class E felony (Vehicle and Traffic Law §§ 1192 [3]; 1193 [1] [c] [i] [A]) and sentencing him to a term of incarceration. Defendant's sole contention is that the sentence is unduly harsh and severe. Inasmuch as defendant has completed serving that sentence, the appeal is moot (see People v Linn, 194 AD3d 1420, 1420-1421 [4th Dept 2021], lv denied 37 NY3d 973 [2021]; People v Pompeo, 151 AD3d 1949, 1949-1950 [4th Dept 2017], lv denied 29 NY3d 1132 [2017]).
