IN THE MATTER OF ARMANDO TORRES, Petitioner, v. PETER RASY, AS SUPERINTENDENT OF BARE HILL CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, Respondent.

MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT

Following a tier III hearing, petitioner was found guilty of violating prison disciplinary rules prohibiting violent conduct, assault on staff, assault on inmates and creating a disturbance. Contrary to petitioner's contention, the misbehavior report as well as the eyewitness testimony of its author provide substantial evidence of petitioner's guilt (see, Matter of Johnson v. Selsky, 271 A.D.2d 770). We also reject petitioner's contention that the lack of endorsements from other correction officers on the misbehavior report renders the report defective. The record does not reveal that any other correction officers witnessed petitioner engaging in the conduct that formed the basis for the report. In any event, the record establishes that petitioner received a copy of the misbehavior report, the report adequately apprised him of the charges against him, and petitioner has failed to demonstrate that any prejudice resulted (see, Matter of Santana v. Senkowski, 269 A.D.2d 638). Petitioner's remaining contentions, including his claim of Hearing Officer bias, are found to be without merit.

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