In the Matter of VIRGIL WILLINGHAM, Petitioner, v. GLENN S. GOORD, as Commissioner of Correctional Ser

MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT

Petitioner was found guilty of violating the prison disciplinary rule prohibiting the unauthorized use of controlled substances after his urine twice tested positive for the presence of cannabinoids. Substantial evidence of petitioner's guilt was presented at his disciplinary hearing in the form of the misbehavior report, the positive urinalysis test results, and the testimony given by the correction officer who conducted the urinalysis tests and authored the misbehavior report (see, Matter of Schnittker v. Selsky, 288 A.D.2d 794; Matter of Mason v. Goord, 251 A.D.2d 829). Petitioner's unsupported contentions that the urinalysis test results were invalid and that procedural errors denied him a fair hearing have been examined and found to be without merit.

Mercure, J.P., Crew III, Spain, Carpinello and Rose, JJ., concur.

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