Matter of Guivas v. Coughlin

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Mar 31, 1994
202 A.D.2d 928 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

March 31, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Albany County.


Upon review of the record, we conclude that there was substantial evidence to support the determination finding petitioner guilty of assaulting another inmate. Petitioner claims that the Hearing Officer erred in relying upon certain confidential information. However, our in camera review of the confidential information reveals the requisite detailed, specific and corroborative evidence to enable the Hearing Officer to make an independent determination of credibility and the reliability of the information.

Mikoll, J.P., Mercure, Crew III, White and Yesawich Jr., JJ., concur. Adjudged that the determination is confirmed, without costs, and petition dismissed.
