Matter of Rosati v. Senkowski

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Nov 2, 1995
221 A.D.2d 675 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

November 2, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Clinton County.


Petitioner was an inmate at a minimum security prison. As the result of an incident in which petitioner met with a female companion outside prison grounds to smoke a marihuana cigarette, petitioner was found guilty of smuggling, possession of a controlled substance and escape. He challenges only that part of the administrative determination finding him guilty of escape and argues that it is not supported by substantial evidence. Upon review of the record, we find that the misbehavior report and the testimony of the correction officer who prepared it constitute substantial evidence supporting the administrative determination. It is undisputed that petitioner was apprehended 30 to 50 yard southside facility grounds in a wooded area and that his companion was armed with a gun. Under these circumstances, the administrative determination must be confirmed.

Mercure, J.P., Crew III, Casey, Yesawich Jr. and Spain, JJ., concur. Adjudged that the determination is confirmed, without costs, and petition dismissed.
