Opinion
June 5, 1997
Petitioner was found guilty of violating the prison disciplinary rules which prohibit creating a disturbance, possession of a weapon and refusing a direct order. The two misbehavior reports, which included detailed descriptions of the charged misconduct, together with the testimony of the correction officers who authored them and who were eyewitnesses to the events in question, provide substantial evidence to support the determination of petitioner's guilt (see, Matter of Rodriguez v Coughlin, 211 A.D.2d 926). We find that petitioner has failed to substantiate his claim of bias on the part of the Hearing Officer (see, Matter of McCoy v. Leonardo, 175 A.D.2d 358, 359) and conclude that his remaining contentions are either unpreserved for our review or lacking in merit.
Cardona, P.J., Mikoll, Crew III, Peters and Spain, JJ., concur.
Adjudged that the determination is confirmed, without costs, and petition dismissed.
