Matter of Gold v. Captain Bradt

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Oct 29, 1998
254 A.D.2d 674 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

October 29, 1998


Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging the administrative determination finding him guilty of violating the prison disciplinary rules that prohibit inmates from engaging in violent conduct, making threats, engaging in harassment and disobeying a direct order. Contrary to petitioner's contention, the detailed misbehavior report, together with the testimony presented at the hearing, provided substantial evidence to support the finding of guilt ( see, Matter of Foster v. Coughlin, 76 N.Y.2d 964). Furthermore, the refusal to testify form signed by one of the requested inmate witnesses adequately explained the reasons for his refusal to testify ( see, Matter of Boyd v. Selsky, 232 A.D.2d 929). Petitioner's remaining contentions, including his assertion that he received inadequate employee assistance, have been reviewed and found to be without merit.

Mikoll, J. P., Mercure, Crew III, White and Spain, JJ., concur.

Adjudged that the determination is confirmed, without costs, and petition dismissed.
