Clark, J. Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of the Supreme Court, entered in Schenectady County) to review a determination of respondent denying petitioner’s request for emergency financial assistance.
Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging a determination of respondent that denied her application for emergency financial assistance for rent arrears in order *1317 to avoid eviction. Documents in connection with this proceeding reflect that petitioner has relocated to another residence. As such, the proceeding is moot (see Matter of Higginbotham v New York State Off. of Temporary & Disability Assistance, 288 AD2d 70, 70 [2001]), and we do not find that the exception to the mootness doctrine applies to the circumstances herein (see Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707, 714 [1980]). Accordingly, the proceeding must be dismissed.
Lahtinen, J.P., Garry and Egan Jr., JJ., concur. Adjudged that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
