Inasmuch as defendant was released from jail in April 2006, his challenge to the finding of a probation violation has been rendered moot (see People v Contrano, 274 AD2d 760, 760-761 [2000]; People v Hamilton, 214 AD2d 783, 783 [1995]), as has his claim that his resentence was harsh and excessive (see People v Edmunds, 21 AD 3d 578, 581 [2005], lv denied 5 NY3d 828 [2005]; People v Young, 13 AD3d 716, 718 [2004]).

Lastly, defendant’s present claim that the sentence was harsh and excessive is moot as defendant was released in July 2004 (see People v Young, 13 AD3d 716, 718 [2004]; People v Contrano, 274 AD2d 760, 761 [2000]).

Finally, we find defendant’s challenge to the severity of his sentence to be moot inasmuch as the record indicates that he was released in May 2002 after serving his sentence (see People v Contrano, 274 AD2d 760, 761 [2000]; People v Durham, 248 AD2d 820, 823 [1998], lv denied 91 NY2d 972 [1998]).

Because defendant has completed serving that sentence, his appeal is moot (see People v Griffin, 239 AD2d 936 [1997]; see also People v Contrano, 274 AD2d 760 [2000]).

Jamie Contrano
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York.

2000 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 8083
Cited by 7 opinions  |  Published

—Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Delaware County, rendered July 19, 1999, which revoked defendant’s probation and imposed a sentence of imprisonment.

Defendant was sentenced to five years’ probation following her conviction for two drug-related offenses. Thereafter, defendant admitted to violating a term of her probation. As a result, defendant’s probation was revoked and she was resentenced to a nine-month term of imprisonment on July ,19, 1999. Defendant appeals. Inasmuch as defendant has completed the sentence imposed, her appeal has been rendered moot (see, [*761] People v Hamilton, 214 AD2d 783; People v Anderson, 197 AD2d 749, lv denied 82 NY2d 921). Furthermore, because there is no “recurring issue of public interest which would otherwise escape appellate review, dismissal is appropriate” (People v Anderson, supra).

Cardona, P. J., Spain, Graffeo, Mugglin and Lahtinen, JJ., concur. Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, as moot.
