Matter of Israel v. Leonardo

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Feb 10, 1994
201 A.D.2d 822 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

February 10, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Washington County.


The written misbehavior report in this case by itself constitutes substantial evidence to support the finding of guilt. It described, with specificity, the incident in which the author was personally involved and the prison disciplinary rules allegedly violated. The report is dated the same day as the incident, signed by its author and endorsed by another correction officer. Petitioner's claims of innocence raised questions of credibility which the Hearing Officer resolved against him. Petitioner's remaining contentions have been considered and rejected as either unpreserved for review or lacking in merit.

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