In re Sylvie J.

233 A.D.2d 446, 650 N.Y.S.2d 607, 1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 11957

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided November 18, 1996·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

In a proceeding for authorization for the involuntary administration of medication, the appeal is from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Schneier, J.), dated June 25, 1996, which, after a hearing, granted the application.

Ordered that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.

The discharge of the appellant Sylvie J. from the petitioner-hospital during the pendency of this appeal renders the issues raised herein moot and, therefore, not subject to review (see, Matter of David C., 69 NY2d 796; Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707). Further, on the record before this Court, review is not warranted pursuant to any exceptions to the mootness doctrine (see, Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, supra). O’Brien, J. P., Ritter, Sullivan and Luciano, JJ., concur.
