Opinion
OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The appeal should be dismissed.
In this proceeding to quash a subpoena it is conceded that the records were surrendered in accordance with the subpoena when the Appellate Division refused to grant a stay pending the appeal to that court. There is no basis for this court to exercise its discretion to retain the appeal despite the mootness (cf. Matter of Barbara C., 64 NY2d 866) since there is no showing that the issue is the type likely to evade review. Indeed, a proceeding relating to the Commissioner’s subsequent efforts to enforce the statute at issue is still pending in the lower courts.
Chief Judge Wachtler and Judges Jasen, Meyer, Kaye, Alexander and Titone concur; Judge Simons taking no part.
Appeal dismissed, without costs, in a memorandum.
