MATTER OF GIANO v. COUGHLIN

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department.
Nov 18, 1993

Petitioner was found guilty after a Superintendent's hearing of violating a rule prohibiting possession of any item of contraband that may be classified as a weapon. Evidence of petitioner's possession of the blade of an "Exacto" knife in his cell provides substantial evidence to support the Commissioner's determination.

Weiss, P.J., Mercure, Cardona, White and Mahoney, JJ., concur. Adjudged that the determination is confirmed, without costs, and petition dismissed.
