ROBERT TERRY, Appellant, v. NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Respondent.
Robert Terry, appellant pro se. John J. Hoffman, Acting Attorney General, attorney for respondent (Lisa A. Puglisi, Assistant Attorney General, of counsel; Megan E. Shafranski, Deputy Attorney General, on the brief).
NOT FOR PUBLICATION WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE APPELLATE DIVISION Before Judges Fisher and Manahan. On appeal from the New Jersey Department of Corrections. Robert Terry, appellant pro se. John J. Hoffman, Acting Attorney General, attorney for respondent (Lisa A. Puglisi, Assistant Attorney General, of counsel; Megan E. Shafranski, Deputy Attorney General, on the brief). PER CURIAM
Appellant Robert Terry is an inmate of New Jersey State Prison serving a lengthy sentence. He appeals a final decision of the Department of Corrections that imposed sanctions after finding him guilty of prohibited acts *.002 (assaulting any person), and *.306 (conduct which disrupts or interferes with the security or orderly running of the correction facility), N.J.A.C. 10A:4-4.1.
In his appeal, Terry argues in a single point:
THE DEPARTMENT'S FINAL DECISION SHOULD BE REVERSED BECAUSE THE HEARING OFFICER FAILED TO PROVIDE HIM HIS RIGHTS TO DUE PROCESS AS THE FINDING OF GUILTY WAS NOT SUPPORTED BY SUBSTANTIAL CREDIBLE EVIDENCE.After having closely examined the record in light of the issues posed, and after having applied a standard of review that calls for deference to the agency's factfinding and expertise, Henry v. Rahway State Prison, 81 N.J. 571, 579 (1980), we find insufficient merit in Terry's arguments to warrant discussion in a written opinion. R. 2:11-3(e)(2).
Affirmed. I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true copy of the original on file in my office.
