THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK ex rel. ALLEN MACK, Appellant, v WARDEN, RIKERS ISLAND CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, et al., Respondents. [864 NYS2d 918]—Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Caesar Cirigliano, J.), entered December 18, 2006, which dismissed petitioner‘s application for a writ of habeas corpus, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Petitioner concedes he was convicted of crimes on the basis of conduct that gave rise to new charge No. 8, for which he was not afforded a preliminary hearing. Since that basis for revocation superseded the issues raised at the revocation hearing, his current procedural challenge is moot (People ex rel.
