MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT
Petitioner was found guilty of violating the prison disciplinary rules which prohibit inmates from creating a disturbance and engaging in violent conduct based, in part, upon confidential information identifying petitioner as one of the inmates who incited a gang-related altercation involving approximately 30 inmates. We reject petitioner's assertion that the determination is not supported by substantial evidence because the Hearing Officer failed to assess the credibility of the confidential informants. A review of the information provided by the confidential sources evidences sufficiently detailed and corroborated information upon which the Hearing Officer could independently assess their reliability (see, Matter of Medina v. Goord, 253 A.D.2d 973; Matter of Colon v. Goord, 245 A.D.2d 582). Moreover, the Hearing Officer found the confidential information to be consistent and credible. This evidence, together with the misbehavior report and testimony presented at the hearing, provides substantial evidence to support the determination of guilt (see, Matter of Medina v. Goord, supra). We have reviewed petitioner's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.
Petitioner was also charged with, but found not guilty of, fighting.
ADJUDGED that the determination is confirmed, without costs, and petition dismissed.
