CHARLES J. GREENBERG, AMHERST, FOR PETITIONER-APPELLANT. ERIC T. SCHNEIDERMAN, ATTORNEY GENERAL, ALBANY (ZAINAB A. CHAUDHRY OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENTS-RESPONDENTS. Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Seneca County (Dennis F. Bender, A.J.), entered July 14, 2011 in a habeas corpus proceeding. The judgment dismissed the petition. It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal is unanimously dismissed without costs. Memorandum: This appeal by petitioner from a judgment dismissing his petition seeking a writ of habeas corpus has been rendered moot by his release to parole supervision (see People ex rel. Hampton v Dennison, 59 AD3d 951, 951, lv denied 12 NY3d 711). Contrary to petitioner’s contention, no exception to the mootness doctrine is present under the circumstances of this case (see id.; People ex rel. Limmer v McKinney, 23 AD3d 806, 807). Entered: December 21, 2012 Frances E. Cafarell Clerk of the Court
