In the Matter of John Newman, Appellant, v Tina M. Stanford, as Chair of the Board of Parole, Respondent. |
John Newman, Rome, appellant pro se.
Letitia James, Attorney General, Albany (Marcus J. Mastracco of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Hartman, J.), entered October 18, 2019 in Albany County, which, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, granted respondent's motion to dismiss the petition.
In 2009, defendant was sentenced to an aggregate prison term of 5
On June 24, 2019, petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging the imposition of the conditions and subsequent special conditions of his February 2019 release. Respondent moved to dismiss the petition on the grounds of timeliness and failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Supreme Court granted the motion, and this appeal ensued.
We affirm. Initially, petitioner's challenge to the conditions imposed by the Board is time-barred given that he did not commence this proceeding within four months of being notified in December 2018 of the relevant conditions (see CPLR 217; Matter of Maldonado v New York State Div. of Parole, 87 AD3d 1231, 1232 [2011]). As to petitioner's challenge to the special conditions imposed by the parole officer on February 14, 2019, the record does not reflect that petitioner, despite being informed of the grievance procedure, submitted a grievance within the 30 days of receiving the special conditions (see Dept of Corr & Community Supervision Directive No. 9402 [VI] [A] [2]). As such, petitioner failed to exhaust his administrative remedies in connection therewith (see e.g. Matter of Johnson v Ricks, 278 AD2d 559, 559 [2000], lv denied 96 NY2d 710 [2001]). Accordingly, we find that Supreme Court properly dismissed the petition.
Mulvey, J.P., Aarons, Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Colangelo, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
