PEOPLE EX REL. GRIFFIN v. N.Y.S. DIV., P

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

The Supreme Court sustained the writ of habeas corpus based on its finding that a hearing officer improperly determined that the relator waived his right to be present at a preliminary parole revocation hearing. During the pendency of this appeal, the relator submitted to a final parole revocation hearing, at the conclusion of which the parole violation warrant was lifted. The present appeal is therefore academic ( see People ex rel. Benton v. Farsi, 1 A.D.3d 126; People ex rel. Alexander v. Walsh, 303 A.D.2d 1015; People ex rel. Freeman v. McCoy, 277 A.D.2d 1054; People ex rel. McIver v. Murray, 275 A.D.2d 1009; People ex rel. McCummings v. DeAngelo 259 A.D.2d 794; People ex rel. Calvin J. v. Bednosky, 245 A.D.2d 324; Matter of Collins v. Rodriguez, 138 A.D.2d 809).
