Matter of Heath v. Walker

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Nov 13, 1998
255 A.D.2d 1006 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

November 13, 1998

Present — Pine, J. P., Hayes, Wisner, Pigott, Jr., and Boehm, JJ.


Determination unanimously confirmed without costs and petition dismissed. Memorandum: Petitioner was found guilty after a Tier III hearing of violating inmate rules 100.13 ( 7 NYCRR 270.2 [B] [1] [iv] [fighting]) and 106.10 ( 7 NYCRR 270.2 [B] [7] [i] [failing to obey promptly an order of a correction officer]). The misbehavior report, together with the author's testimony, constitutes substantial evidence supporting the determination ( see, Matter of Green v. Williams, 252 A.D.2d 974; Matter of Rivers v. Williams, 252 A.D.2d 986). The testimony of petitioner and the inmate witness called by him to testify merely raised an issue of credibility for the Hearing Officer to resolve ( see, Matter of Foster v. Coughlin, 76 N.Y.2d 964, 966). (CPLR art 78 Proceeding Transferred by Order of Supreme Court, Cayuga County, Corning, J.)
