Opinion

Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Karen V. Murphy, J.), entered July 30, 2015. The order denied the petition to quash or modify subpoenas duces tecum issued on March 26, 2015.

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

The petitioners commenced this proceeding pursuant to CPLR 2304 to quash or modify four subpoenas duces tecum issued on March 26, 2015, by William Brennan, as an attorney for the New York State Liquor Authority. In an order entered July 30, 2015, the Supreme Court denied the petition. The petitioners appeal.

Inasmuch as we denied the petitioners’ motion, inter alia, to stay enforcement of the subpoenas duces tecum pending hearing and determination of this appeal by decision and order on motion dated September 25, 2015, and the petitioners produced the documents requested in the subpoenas, the issues raised on this appeal have been rendered academic (see Matter of Roadway Express v Commissioner of N.Y. State Dept. of Labor, 66 NY2d 742, 744 [1985]; Matter of Cobleskill Stone Prods., Inc. v Town of Schoharie, 112 AD3d 1024, 1025 [2013]; Cadle Co. v Court Living Corp., 34 AD3d 254, 254 [2006]; Romaro Corp. v Sea & Sky Garden, 304 AD2d 742, 742 [2003]). Contrary to the petitioners’ contention, this case does not warrant the invocation of the exception to the mootness doctrine (see Matter of Grand Jury Subpoenas for Locals 17, 135, 257 & 608 of United Bhd. of Carpenters & Joiners of Am., AFL-CIO, 72 NY2d 307, 311 [1988]; Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707, 714-715 [1980]; Matter of Richmond County Dist. Attorney v Staten Is. Univ. Hosp., 109 AD3d 620, 620 [2013]). Accordingly, the appeal must be dismissed.

Mastro, J.P., Rivera, Roman and Sgroi, JJ., concur.
