Matter of Licastro v. Coughlin

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Oct 6, 1989
154 A.D.2d 938 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

October 6, 1989

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Wyoming County, Dadd, J.

Present — Dillon, P.J., Green, Pine, Balio and Davis, JJ.


Determination unanimously confirmed and petition dismissed. Memorandum: The misbehavior report filed by Correction Sergeant McKernon, together with the sergeant's testimony at the Tier III hearing, constituted substantial evidence supporting the determination that petitioner violated the institutional rules with which he was charged (see, People ex rel. Vega v Smith, 66 N.Y.2d 130). Moreover, petitioner concedes that there was substantial evidence to support the determination that he violated inmate rule 100.10, assault, as charged in the misbehavior report prepared by Correction Sergeant Perez. The penalties imposed are not so disproportionate to the offenses as to be shocking to one's sense of fairness (see, Matter of Pell v Board of Educ., 34 N.Y.2d 222, 233).

Finally, the issue concerning the timeliness of the Tier III hearing on the violation charged in the Perez misbehavior report is not properly raised before this court (see, Matter of Bones v Kelly, 122 A.D.2d 593; Matter of Gaines v Kelly, 117 A.D.2d 1002).
