In the Matter of MICHAEL F. RAMSEY, Petitioner, v. WILLIAM E. PHILLIPS, Respondent.

Adjudged that the determination is confirmed and the proceeding is dismissed on the merits, without costs or disbursements.

"In reviewing a prison disciplinary determination, the court's inquiry is limited to deciding whether the determination was supported by substantial evidence" ( Matter of Glover v. Goord, 262 AD2d 483, 484; see People ex rel. Vega v. Smith, 66 NY2d 130). "[S]ubstantial evidence `means such relevant proof as a reasonable mind may accept as adequate to support a conclusion or ultimate fact'" ( People ex rel. Vega v. Smith, supra at 139, quoting 300 Gramatan Ave. Assoc. v. State Div. of Human Rights, 45 NY2d 176, 180). Here, a review of the record reveals that there was substantial evidence to support the respondent's determination that the petitioner violated prison rules ( see Matter of Foster v. Coughlin, 76 NY2d 964; Matter of Perez v. Wilmot, 67 NY2d 615; see also, Matter of McIntosh v. Coughlin, 155 AD2d 762). Accordingly, we confirm the determination.
