Fabrizio J. at plea and sentencing; Raymond L. Bruce, J. at probation termination), rendered February 8, 2023, convicting defendant, of assault in the second degree, and sentencing him to a jail term of 60 days, concurrent with five years' probation, unanimously dismissed, as moot.</p> <p>This appeal, claiming excessiveness of sentence, is moot because defendant completed his jail term, and his term of probation has been terminated (<i>see People v Hatten</i>, 233 AD3d 595, 595 [1st Dept 2024]). In light of the termination of his probation, his challenges to conditions of his probation are also moot (<i>see Matter of <i><i><i><i><i>Traekwon I.</i> </i></i> </i></i> </i>, 152 AD3d 431, 432 [1st Dept 2017]).</p> <p>THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.</p> <p>ENTERED: May 14, 2026</p> </div> <div> <footer> <div> <p>Court Decisions</p> All Court Decisions Official Reports Service Bound Volumes Decision Search </div> <div> <p>Resources</p> RSS Feeds Style Manual Citation Tools Opinion Formatting &amp; Privacy Guidelines Opinion Selection Criteria Legal Research Portal Site Index </div> <div> <p>About</p> About our Operations Contact Us Twitter </div> <div> <p>Quick Contact Info</p> <p>17 Lodge Street</p> <p>Albany, NY 12207</p> <p>Phone: (518) 453-6900</p> </div> </footer> </div> <div> <p>Links to or from other sites do not signify endorsement or relationship with them.</p> </div> </div>
