    The People of the State of New York ex rel. Arthur Adams, Appellant, v Raul Russi, Respondent.
    [644 NYS2d 637]
   As the petitioner has now been released from custody, he is not entitled to a writ of habeas corpus, and his appeal must be dismissed (see, People ex rel. DeFlumer v Strack, 85 NY2d 966; People ex rel. Dennard v Meloni, 74 NY2d 916; People ex rel. Burton v Russi, 199 AD2d 560). In any event, we note that the petitioner’s contentions on appeal are without merit. Rosenblatt, J. P., Sullivan, Copertino and Santucci, JJ., concur.
