Appellate Division, Second Department
[*1]
In the Matter of Gamel Browne, Petitioner,
v
Michael Capra, Superintendent, Sing Sing Correctional Facility, Respondent.
Gamel Browne, Ossining, NY, petitioner pro se.
Eric T. Schneiderman, Attorney General, New York, NY (Michael S. Belohlavek and David Lawrence III of counsel), for respondent.
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 to review a determination of the Superintendent of the Sing Sing Correctional Facility, dated October 31, 2013, which affirmed a determination of a hearing officer dated October 16, 2013, made after a tier II disciplinary hearing, that the petitioner was guilty of Institutional Rules of Conduct rules 101.20 and 112.22 (7 NYCRR 270.2 [B] [2] [iii]; [13] [iv]) and imposing penalties.
Adjudged that the determination is confirmed, the petition is denied, and the proceeding is dismissed on the merits, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the petitioner’s contention, the misbehavior report and the hearing testimony provided substantial evidence to support the hearing officer’s determination that the petitioner violated the subject disciplinary rules ( see Matter of Davis v Lee , 127 AD3d 1186 [2015]; Matter of La Puma v Lee , 115 AD3d 745 , 746 [2014]).
Furthermore, contrary to the petitioner’s contention, the misbehavior report was sufficiently specific to provide him with notice of the particulars of the alleged incident of misbehavior involved ( see 7 NYCRR 251-3.1 [c] [1]; Matter of Davis v Lee , 127 AD3d at 1186; Matter of Anekwe v Ercole , 74 AD3d 1335 [2010]).
The petitioner’s remaining contentions are without merit. Dillon, J.P., Chambers, Dickerson and Barros, JJ., concur..
