This matter was not rendered moot merely because the maximum term of petitioner's sentence has expired ( Matter of Biondo v New York State Bd. of Parole, 60 N.Y.2d 832; Matter of Justiano v New York State Bd. of Parole, 189 A.D.2d 566). Contrary to petitioner's contention, there was substantial evidence, including the properly admitted hearsay testimony ( People ex rel. McGee v Walters, 62 N.Y.2d 317), adduced at the parole revocation hearing that the vehicle he was driving was stolen, that he knew it was stolen and that he lacked authorization to use it ( 300 Gramatan Ave. Assocs. v State Div. of Human Rights, 45 N.Y.2d 176). We have considered petitioner's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.
