Matter of Pisani v. Kelly

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Feb 3, 1989
147 A.D.2d 945 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

February 3, 1989

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

Present — Callahan, J.P., Doerr, Pine, Balio and Davis, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The Hearing Officer determined that it would jeopardize institutional safety or correctional goals if a correction officer, since transferred to another correctional facility, were required to travel to Attica Correctional Facility to testify at petitioner's Tier III disciplinary hearing (see, 7 NYCRR 254.5 [b]). The Hearing Officer, thereafter, interviewed the transferred correction officer by telephone. The officer's tape-recorded statement was made available to petitioner (see, 7 NYCRR 254.5 [b]). The Hearing Officer's determination had a rational basis and complied with the applicable regulation (see, Matter of Coleman v Kelly, 143 A.D.2d 539; People ex rel. Bradley v Smith, 115 A.D.2d 225, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 604; 7 NYCRR 254.5).

Petitioner's remaining claims have not been preserved for our review (see, Matter of Crutchfield v Kelly, 125 A.D.2d 955, lv denied 69 N.Y.2d 608; Matter of Purnell v Kelly, 115 A.D.2d 1010, appeal withdrawn 67 N.Y.2d 938). Were we to address these claims, however, we would find them lacking in merit (see, Matter of Valles v Smith, 116 A.D.2d 1002, revd on other grounds 69 N.Y.2d 677; Matter of Purnell v Kelly, supra, at 1011).
