In the Matter of JAMINE AUSTIN, Petitioner, v. DIVISION OF PAROLE, Respondent.

MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT

Following a final parole revocation hearing, petitioner's parole was revoked based upon a finding that he violated a condition thereof by striking his mother during a domestic dispute. The police officer who responded to the family dispute call placed by petitioner's mother testified that when he arrived at the scene, the mother's face was swollen and she appeared to have been hit in the eye. According to both the police officer and petitioner's parole officer, the mother stated that petitioner struck her during a domestic dispute. Under these circumstances, the record amply supports the determination that petitioner violated the condition of his parole prohibiting him from engaging in unlawful or threatening behavior (see, People ex rel. Fahim v. Lacy, 266 A.D.2d 612, lv denied 94 N.Y.2d 759). Although the mother testified at the hearing that the injuries were accidental, this created a credibility issue for the Administrative Law Judge to resolve (see,id., at 612).

Finally, we reject petitioner's contentions that the parole revocation guidelines set forth in 9 NYCRR 8005.20 (c) violate the ex post facto doctrine (see, People ex rel. Gaito v. Couture, 269 A.D.2d 709, 710, lv denied 95 N.Y.2d 754; People ex rel. Tyler v. Travis, 269 A.D.2d 636, 637) and that inaudible portions of the hearing tape render the hearing transcript deficient (see, Matter of Graham v. New York State Div. of Parole, 269 A.D.2d 628, 629, lv denied 95 N.Y.2d 753).

Petitioner's remaining contentions are unpreserved for review or have been found to be without merit.

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