In the Matter of ROLANDO SANTIAGO, Petitioner, v. DANIEL SENKOWSKI, as Superintendent of Clinton Correctional Facility, et al., Respondents.

MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT

Following a disciplinary hearing petitioner, a prison inmate, was found guilty of violent conduct, bribery and making threats. Petitioner thereafter commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging the determination, contending, inter alia, that the misbehavior report should have been dismissed because it was written one day after the alleged incident. Contrary to petitioner's assertion, there is no requirement that the report be prepared the day of the incident (see, 7 NYCRR 251-3.1 [a]; see also, Matter of Greene v. Coombe, 242 A.D.2d 796, lv denied 91 N.Y.2d 803).

We also reject petitioner's contention that the misbehavior report does not constitute sufficient evidence of his guilt. The misbehavior report, which was authored by an eyewitness to the event, was sufficient to substantiate the alleged misconduct (see,Matter of Dexter v. Goord, 257 A.D.2d 936). Petitioner's remaining contentions have been examined and found to be lacking in merit.

CARDONA, P.J., CREW III, PETERS, SPAIN and GRAFFEO, JJ., concur.

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