PEOPLE v. CONTRANO

Defendant was sentenced to five years' probation following her conviction for two drug-related offenses. Thereafter, defendant admitted to violating a term of her probation. As a result, defendant's probation was revoked and she was resentenced to a nine-month term of imprisonment on July 19, 1999. Defendant appeals. Inasmuch as defendant has completed the sentence imposed, her appeal has been rendered moot (see, People v. Hamilton, 214 A.D.2d 783; People v. Anderson, 197 A.D.2d 749, lv denied 82 N.Y.2d 921). Furthermore, because there is no "recurring issue of public interest which would otherwise escape appellate review, dismissal is appropriate" (People v. Anderson, supra).

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, as moot.
