WYOMING COUNTY-ATTICA LEGAL AID BUREAU, WARSAW (LEAH R. NOWOTARSKI OF COUNSEL), FOR PETITIONER-APPELLANT. LETITIA JAMES, ATTORNEY GENERAL, ALBANY (BEEZLY J. KIERNAN OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT-RESPONDENT. Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Wyoming County (Michael M. Mohun, A.J.), entered April 18, 2022 in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78. The judgment dismissed the petition. It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal is unanimously dismissed without costs. Memorandum: Petitioner appeals from a judgment dismissing his CPLR article 78 petition seeking to annul the Parole Board's determination denying his request for early conditional parole for deportation only. The Attorney General has advised this Court that, subsequent to that denial and during the pendency of this appeal, petitioner reappeared before the Parole Board in January 2023. Consequently, this appeal must be dismissed as moot (see generally Matter of Crittleton v Annucci, 201 AD3d 1302, 1302 [4th Dept 2022]; Matter of Hill v Annucci, 149 AD3d 1540, 1541 [4th Dept 2017]). Contrary to petitioner's contention, the exception to the mootness doctrine does not apply (see Hill, 149 AD3d at 1541; see generally Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707, 714-715 [1980]).
