Opinion
January 28, 1993
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Sullivan County (Kane, J.).
Petitioner contends that his transfer from one correctional facility to another required a hearing consistent with due process because it was allegedly based upon security considerations. We disagree. Inmates have no right to remain at a particular facility or any expectation that transfer will not occur without misconduct (Montanye v. Haymes, 427 U.S. 236, 243), and respondent is not required to give reasons for such a transfer (see, Matter of Cole v. Smith, 84 A.D.2d 942). Given that there is no indication that respondent acted in bad faith or of any other circumstances warranting remittal of this matter for further consideration, we affirm (cf., Matter of Fridella v Coughlin, 177 A.D.2d 872; Matter of Cole v. Smith, supra).
Yesawich Jr., J.P., Crew III, Mahoney and Harvey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
