Matter of Polanco v. Coughlin

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Dec 23, 1993
199 A.D.2d 786 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

December 23, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Chemung County (Ellison, J.).


The misbehavior report, coupled with the testimony of the correction officer who wrote it and witnessed the incident, provide substantial evidence to support the finding of guilt. Determinations of credibility were for the Commissioner to resolve. We also note that although the substantial evidence issue was not clearly before Supreme Court in petitioner's pro se papers, and therefore no transfer occurred, an examination of the papers reveals that the issue was sufficiently raised. Petitioner's remaining arguments have been considered and rejected as either unpreserved for review or lacking in merit.

Weiss, P.J., Cardona, White, Mahoney and Casey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
