Synopsis
The court dismissed the landlord's FOIL proceeding seeking records about why its building was placed on a pilot program list. Although the respondent agency did not provide the requested records in the specific FOIL response, it had previously disclosed the records to the landlord's counsel in response to separate FOIL requests, rendering this proceeding moot. The court also found the landlord's request for declaratory relief challenging its building's inclusion on the pilot list was untimely under the statute of limitations. As the landlord did not prevail, it was not entitled to attorneys' fees.
