     Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to the
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Fourth Judicial
Department by order of the Supreme Court, Erie County [John M. Curran,
J.], entered October 24, 2013) to review a determination of New York
State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance. The
determination, among other things, found that petitioner transferred
assets for the purpose of qualifying for Medicaid and therefore is
ineligible for payment of her nursing facility services for a period
of 35.73 months.

      Now, upon reading and filing the stipulation of discontinuance
signed by the attorneys for the parties on February 19, 20 and 25,
2014,

     It is hereby ORDERED that said proceeding is unanimously
dismissed without costs upon stipulation.
