    In the Matter of Jose N. Torres, Appellant, v State of New York, Executive Department Division of Parole, Respondent.
    [788 NYS2d 869]
   Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (McNamara, J.), entered April 13, 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 August 2004, the instant matter is now moot (see Matter of Rivera v Travis, 8 AD3d 716 [2004]). Because some delay in bringing this matter to court is attributable to petitioner, we decline to apply the exception to the mootness doctrine.

Cardona, EJ., Crew III, Peters, Mugglin and Kane, JJ., concur. Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
