In the Matter of WILLIAM R. PHILLIPS, Respondent, v. BRION D. TRAVIS, as Commissioner of the New York State Di

Contrary to the finding of the motion court, respondent complied with the statutory mandate to consider certain guidelines in determining whether to release an inmate on parole (Executive Law § 259-i [c] [A]). The Parole Board is not required to delineate in its decision each of the guidelines considered ( Matter of King v. New York State Div. of Parole, 83 NY2d 788, 791). The record reflects that petitioner was afforded a proper hearing in which only the relevant guidelines were considered ( see id.). Where, as here, the sentencing court, and not the Board of Parole, has set the minimum sentence of imprisonment, those guidelines include the seriousness of the offense and the inmate's prior criminal record ( id. at 790, citing Executive Law § 259-i [a]; [2] [c]). Given the heinousness of petitioner's crime, the Board's denial of parole was neither arbitrary nor capricious ( see Matter of Garcia v. New York State Div. of Parole, 239 AD2d 235, 240). [ See 6 Misc 3d 1041(A), 2005 NY Slip Op 50386(U) (2005).]
