IN THE MATTER OF SALVADOR GALDAMEZ v. DAVIS

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

The determination of the respondent Chris Davis, Superintendent of Security of Otisville Correctional Facility is supported by substantial evidence ( see Matter of Foster v. Coughlin, 76 NY2d 964, 966; Matter of Perez v. Wilmot, 67 NY2d 615, 616-617; Matter of James v. Strack, 214 AD2d 674). Moreover, there is no evidence in the record to support the petitioner's claim that the hearing officer was biased ( see Matter of Hughes v. Suffolk County Dept. of Civ. Serv., 74 NY2d 833; Matter of Martinez v. Scully, 194 AD2d 679).
