Matter of Hernandez v. McSherry

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Apr 13, 2000
271 A.D.2d 777 (N.Y. App. Div. 2000)

Opinion

April 13, 2000.

Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Hughes, J.), entered June 22, 1999 in Albany County, which dismissed petitioner's application, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, to review a determination of the Board of Parole denying petitioner parole release.

Henry Hernandez, Comstock, appellant in person.

Eliot Spitzer, Attorney-General (Kathleen M. Treasure of counsel), Albany, for respondents.

Before: CARDONA, P.J., MERCURE, SPAIN, CARPINELLO and GRAFFEO, JJ.


MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Petitioner was convicted of attempted murder in the second degree, three counts of robbery in the first degree, assault in the first degree, robbery in the second degree and four counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and is serving a prison term in connection therewith of 18 to 36 years. In July 1998, the Board of Parole denied petitioner's application for parole release based upon petitioner's extensive criminal history, the seriousness of the instant offenses and petitioner's disciplinary record while incarcerated. Supreme Court dismissed petitioner's challenge to the Board of Parole's determination, prompting this appeal.

We affirm. Inasmuch as the record discloses that the Board of Parole considered all relevant factors in denying petitioner's parole request, including his receipt of an earned eligibility certificate (see, Executive Law § 259-i Exec. [5]), further judicial review of the Board's determination is precluded (see, Matter of Jerrell v. Ibsen, 253 A.D.2d 917). Additionally, we note that petitioner's allegations of bias on the part of the Board Commissioner are not supported by the record and, further, that petitioner has failed to offer proof that the outcome of this case flowed from the alleged bias (see, People ex rel. Brazeau v. McLaughlin, 233 A.D.2d 724, lv denied 89 N.Y.2d 810).

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
