OPINION OF THE COURT
Mikoll, J.
Petitioners seek to quash subpoenas issued by respondent on the ground that respondent is a temporary State commission within the meaning of Civil Rights Law § 73 (9) which requires that at least two of its members be present during testimony of witnesses and that respondent’s failure to hold such two-member hearings renders the proceedings null and void. Respondent, on the other hand, seeks dismissal of the appeal as moot since petitioners have already testified and the remedy of quashing the subpoenas would have no practical effect.
