[*1]In re Tony Abdallah, et al., Petitioners-Appellants,

v

Maria T. Vullo, in her capacity as Superintendent of Financial Services, et al., Respondents-Respondents.

Law Office of Stuart Salles, New York (Stuart Salles of counsel), for appellants.

Letitia James, Attorney General, New York (Matthew William Grieco of counsel), for The New York Department of Financial Services, respondent.

Litchfield Cavo, LLP, New York (Brian S. Gitnik of counsel), for Municipal Credit Union, respondent.

Appeal from judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Melissa Crane, J.), entered October 25, 2018, denying the petition to annul a determination by respondent Superintendent of Financial Services, dated June 22, 2018, to the extent it removed petitioners from the board of directors of Municipal Credit Union, and dismissing the proceeding brought pursuant to CPLR article 78, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as moot.

This appeal was rendered moot by the appointment of a conservator of respondent Municipal Credit Union, replacing the credit union's board of directors, among others, by operation of law (see Banking Law § 634; see also 12 USC § 1787[b]).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
