Carpinello, J.
Following a visit, petitioner, a prison inmate, was placed in an observation cell because correction officers suspected that he possessed contraband. During a subsequent search of the cell, correction officers found a cell phone battery. Thereafter, petitioner was charged in a misbehavior report with possession of contraband and smuggling. He was found guilty of both charges following a tier III disciplinary hearing. The penalty was modified upon administrative appeal. Petitioner then commenced the instant CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging the determination of guilt.
Initially, petitioner contends that the misbehavior report did not contain the specificity required by 7 NYCRR 251-3.1(c). This regulation, however, "does not require that the report itemize in evidentiary detail all aspects of the case" (Matter of Torres v. Goord, 261 A.D.2d 759, 759). "Rather, it suffices to identify the date, time and place of the offense, the specific rule violation and the factual basis for the charge with sufficient particularity to enable the inmate to prepare a defense" (Matter of Couch v. Goord, 255 A.D.2d 720, 721 [citations omitted]; see Matter of Torres v. Goord, supra at 759). Here, the report stated that the observation cell was searched before petitioner was placed in it, at which time no contraband was found. Two days later, the cell phone battery was found and taken to the contraband room. The report also set forth the particular rule violations charged. In our view, this was sufficient to comply with the regulatory requirements.
Furthermore, we find no merit to petitioner's claims that the Hearing Officer refused to consider his objections and deprived him of a fair hearing. The transcript of the hearing reveals that the Hearing Officer acknowledged petitioner's objection to omissions in the logbook. Notwithstanding such omissions, the Hearing Officer concluded that there was sufficient evidence to find petitioner guilty of the charges. We agree. "The record * * * discloses that the hearing was conducted in a fair and impartial manner, with no indication that its outcome flowed from anything other than the substantial evidence of petitioner's guilt" (Matter of Antonucci v. David, 306 A.D.2d 654, 654 [citation omitted]). Therefore, we decline to disturb respondent's determination.

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