Opinion
August 22, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Dutchess County (Marlow, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Since the exchange of funds among State inmates without permission is prohibited (see, e.g., Matter of Garland v Coughlin, 198 A.D.2d 731), and because it is undisputed that the petitioner attempted to withdraw funds from her inmate account so that she could transmit those funds indirectly to another State prison inmate, the Supreme Court correctly confirmed the findings of the Hearing Officer (see also, Matter of Smith v. LeFevre, 116 A.D.2d 782; Matter of Fediuk v. Coughlin, 106 A.D.2d 834). Mangano, P.J., Bracken, Joy and Hart, JJ., concur.
