People ex rel. Adams v. Russi , 644 N.Y.2d 637 ( 1996 )

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.
