n the Matter of THOMAS McNULTY, Petitioner, v. BRIAN S. FISCHER, as Commissioner of Correctional Ser

As a result of having attempted to walk away from the prison's medication window with medication hidden under his tongue, petitioner was charged in a misbehavior report with, among other things, smuggling. Following a tier III disciplinary hearing, he was found guilty of that charge. The determination of guilt was affirmed upon administrative appeal and this CPLR article 78 proceeding ensued.

We confirm. Contrary to petitioner's assertion, the determination in issue is supported by substantial evidence in the form of the misbehavior report and hearing testimony from the nurse involved in the incident ( see Matter of Bonez v McGinnis, 305 AD2d 814, 815). To the extent that the record contains conflicting evidence, credibility issues were created for resolution by the Hearing Officer ( see Matter of Roman v Selsky, 42 AD3d 721, 721 [2007], lv denied 9 NY3d 815). Petitioner's remaining contentions, including his claim that the misbehavior report was not issued in a timely manner, have been considered and found to be unavailing.

Adjudged that the determination is confirmed, without costs, and petition dismissed.
