    In the Matter of Clarence McCants, Appellant, v Brion D. Travis, as Chair of the New York State Board of Parole Services, Respondent.
    [788 NYS2d 625]
   Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Keegan, J.), entered March 8, 2004 in Albany County, which dismissed petitioner’s application, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, to review a determination of the Board of Parole denying petitioner’s request for parole release.

Since the determination giving rise to this CPLR article 78 proceeding, petitioner has reappeared before the Board of Parole and again was denied parole release. Given petitioner’s subsequent reappearance before the Board in December 2004, the instant matter is now moot and must be dismissed (see Matter of Benitez v New York State Div. of Parole, 10 AD3d 743 [2004]).

Mercure, J.P., Crew III, Spain, Carpinello and Lahtinen, JJ., concur. Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
