IN THE MATTER OF ELIZABETH THOMAS, PETITIONER v. DONALD SELSKY, AS DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES, ET AL., RESPONDENT.

MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT

Petitioner challenges a determination finding her guilty of violating the prison disciplinary rule that prohibits inmates from possessing any facility document without authorization. The Attorney-General has advised this Court that the determination at issue has been administratively reversed and expunged from petitioner's institutional record inasmuch as the rule was not in effect at the time of the alleged misconduct. Although petitioner seeks to be restored to the status she enjoyed prior to being charged with the disciplinary violation, a prisoner has no constitutional, statutory or precedential right to be housed at a particular correctional facility or prison job (see, Matter of Jackson v. Coughlin, 199 A.D.2d 704; Matter of Sabo v. Racette, 124 A.D.2d 920, 921). Inasmuch as petitioner has received all the relief to which she is entitled, the matter is dismissed as moot (see, Matter of Hernandez v. Goord, 279 A.D.2d 919).

Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Spain, Carpinello and Lahtinen, JJ., concur.

ADJUDGED that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
