In the Matter of DOMINIC FILBERT, Petitioner, v. GLENN S. GOORD, as Commissioner of the New York State Department of Correctional Ser

MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT

The misbehavior report and urinalysis test results indicating the presence of opiates, together with the testimony at the hearing, provide substantial evidence to support the determination finding petitioner, a prison inmate, guilty of violating the prison disciplinary rule which prohibits the unauthorized use of a controlled substance (see, Matter of Kreel v. Goord, 249 A.D.2d 600, lv denied 92 N.Y.2d 807). The conflicting testimony presented at the hearing as to whether the cough medicine petitioner was allegedly taking caused a false positive test result presented a credibility issue for the Hearing Officer to resolve (see, Matter of Wood v. Selsky, 240 A.D.2d 876). Petitioner's remaining contentions, including that the hearing transcript is incomplete, have been reviewed and found to be without merit.

CARDONA, P.J., MIKOLL, PETERS, CARPINELLO and GRAFFEO, JJ., concur.

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