MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT
Petitioner, a prison inmate, was found guilty of using a controlled substance. Given that the two tests performed on petitioner's urine sample yielded positive results for the presence of opiates, we conclude that substantial evidence supports the finding of drug use (see, Matter of Mercado v. Selsky, ___ A.D.2d ___, 703 N.Y.S.2d 762; Matter of Davis v. Goord, ___ A.D.2d ___, 700 N.Y.S.2d 876). Furthermore, although the Hearing Officer's written decision was brief, it specifically stated the evidence relied upon and was sufficient to allow for intelligent judicial review (see, Matter of Soto-Rodriguez v. Goord, 252 A.D.2d 782). Any questions regarding the chain of custody of petitioner's urine sample were sufficiently explained during the hearing (see, Matter of Mercado v. Selsky, supra).
We also reject petitioner's contention that a malfunctioning tape recorder created a prejudicial gap in the hearing transcript. Any gap in the hearing transcript was not so significant as to preclude meaningful review (see, Matter of Wright v. Goord, 256 A.D.2d 696). We have examined petitioner's remaining contentions, including his claim that his due process rights were infringed due to the denial of his request for a copy of the SYVA ETS manual (see, Matter of Davis v. Goord, supra; Matter of Foust v. Goord, 262 A.D.2d 904), and find them to be unpersuasive.
Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Spain, Graffeo and Lahtinen, JJ., concur.
