Appellate Division, Third Department
As corrected through Wednesday, September 21, 2005


In the Matter of William L. Stanley, Jr., Appellant, v Robert Dennison, as Chair of the New York State Board of Parole, Respondent.

[*1]Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Benza, J.), entered November 1, 2004 in Albany County, which dismissed petitioner's application, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, to review a determination of the Board of Parole denying petitioner's request for parole release.

Since the May 20, 2003 determination giving rise to this CPLR article 78 proceeding, petitioner has reappeared before the Board of Parole and his request for parole release has again been denied. Given petitioner's subsequent reappearance before the Board in May 2005, the instant matter must be dismissed as moot (see Matter of Baez v Travis, 10 AD3d 778 [2004], lv denied 4 NY3d 702 [2004]).

Spain, J.P., Mugglin, Rose, Lahtinen and Kane, JJ., concur. Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
