    Before: McCarthy, J.P., Lynch, Clark, Aarons and Pritzker, JJ.

    MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT

    Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of the Supreme Court, entered in Albany County) to review a determination of the Commissioner of Corrections and Community Supervision finding petitioner guilty of violating certain prison disciplinary rules.

    Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding to challenge a tier III disciplinary determination finding him guilty of violating certain prison disciplinary rules. The Attorney General has advised this Court that the determination has been administratively reversed, all references thereto have been expunged from petitioner's institutional record and the mandatory $5 surcharge has been refunded to petitioner's inmate

    account. Accordingly, the petition must be dismissed as moot, inasmuch as petitioner has been granted all the relief to which he is entitled (see Matter of Weston v Annucci, 156 AD3d 1012, 1013 [2017]; Matter of Buggsward v Rodriguez, 155 AD3d 1194, 1194-1195 [2017]). As the record reflects that petitioner paid a reduced filing fee of $15 and he has requested a refund thereof, we grant such request for reimbursement of that amount.

    McCarthy, J.P., Lynch, Clark, Aarons and Pritzker, JJ., concur.

    ADJUDGED that the petition is dismissed, as moot, without costs, but with disbursements in the amount of $15.
