The People of the State of New York,Respondent,
v
Brandon Lee Elmendorf, Appellant.

[*1]Michael G. Paul, New City, N.Y., for appellant.

William V. Grady, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. (Bridget Rahilly Steller ofcounsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a resentence of the County Court, Dutchess County (Hayes,J.), imposed December 22, 2008, which, upon his conviction of assault in the second degree,upon his plea of guilty, imposed a term of postrelease supervision in addition to the determinateterm of imprisonment previously imposed on September 24, 2003.

Ordered that the appeal is dismissed as academic.

The sole issue presented on appeal is the defendant's challenge to the legality of the term ofpostrelease supervision the County Court imposed at resentencing, pursuant to Correction Law§ 601-d, after he had been released from prison upon completing his determinate term ofimprisonment (see People vWilliams, 14 NY3d 198 [2010], cert denied 562 US —, 131 S Ct 125[2010]). The record indicates that the challenged term of postrelease supervision has expired.Accordingly, the appeal must be dismissed as academic (see People v Garner, 83 AD3d862 [2d Dept 2011]; cf. Matter of Johnson v Pataki, 91 NY2d 214, 222 [1997];Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707, 714 [1980]; People v John, 288AD2d 848, 849 [2001]; People v Rodriguez, 269 AD2d 613 [2000]; People vYoung, 253 AD2d 676 [1998]; People v Hults, 231 AD2d 836 [1996]; People vHernandez, 166 AD2d 609 [1990]; People v Dukes, 156 AD2d 959 [1989]).
