Matter of Black v. Coughlin

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Dec 23, 1993
199 A.D.2d 794 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

December 23, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Albany County.


Contrary to petitioner's contention, there was no error in extending the hearing due to the unavailability of the Hearing Officer or for the purpose of allowing the Hearing Officer time to review the videotape of the prison disturbance which was done at petitioner's request. In addition, the hearing was completed prior to the deadline stated in the extension. There is also no evidence in the record to support petitioner's contention that the outcome of the hearing flowed from any bias on the part of the Hearing Officer. Finally, we find that the misbehavior report, coupled with the testimony of the correction officer who authored the report and witnessed the events, provides substantial evidence to support the determination.

Weiss, P.J., Cardona, White, Mahoney and Casey, JJ., concur. Adjudged that the determination is confirmed, without costs, and petition dismissed.
