Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding contending that respondent's determination to revoke his parole should be annulled. Supreme Court dismissed the proceeding on the ground of lack of personal jurisdiction arising out of petitioner's admitted failure to serve respondent within the time requirements set forth in the order to show cause authorizing service by mail. Although procedural requirements may be relaxed in cases where "imprisonment presents obstacles to service that are beyond an inmate's power to control" (Matter of Hoyer v. Coughlin, 179 A.D.2d 921), petitioner presents nothing here that would support a conclusion that he was not capable of satisfying the applicable procedural requirements (see, Matter of Joshua v. Commissioner of Dept. of Correctional Servs., 240 A.D.2d 797). Accordingly, Supreme Court's judgment dismissing the petition must be affirmed.
Mikoll, J. P., Crew III, Peters, Carpinello and Graffeo, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
