| In the Matter of Terry Petterson, Petitioner, v Anthony Annucci, Acting Commissioner, New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, Respondent. |
Wyoming County-attica Legal Aid Bureau, Warsaw (Leah R. Nowotarski of counsel), for petitioner.
Eric T. Schneiderman, Attorney General, Albany (Frank Brady of counsel), for respondent.
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Fourth Judicial Department by order of the Supreme Court, Wyoming County [Michael M. Mohun, A.J.], entered May 26, 2017) to annul a determination of respondent. The determination found after a tier III hearing that petitioner had violated various inmate rules.
It is hereby ordered that the determination is unanimously confirmed without costs and the petition is dismissed.
Memorandum: Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding seeking to annul the determination, following a tier III disciplinary hearing, that he violated various inmate rules, including inmate rule 113.10 (7 NYCRR 270.2 [B] [14] [i] [possession of a weapon]). Contrary to petitioner's contention, we conclude that there is substantial evidence to support the determination that he violated that inmate rule (see Matter of Sanchez v Goord, 300 AD2d 956, 956 [3d Dept 2002]). Present—Peradotto, J.P., Carni, DeJoseph, Curran and Winslow, JJ.
