Misbehavior Report Did Not Supply Sufficient Notice of Alleged Offense

In annulling a disciplinary finding, the Third Department held the misbehavior report did not provide sufficient notice of the alleged offense:

Petitioner contends that his due process rights were violated because the misbehavior report failed to comply with the particularity requirements of 7 NYCRR 251-3.1 (c). This regulation provides that a misbehavior report must set forth “the date, time and place of the offense, . . . the disciplinary rule alleged to have been violated and . . . the factual basis for the charge with enough particularity to enable the inmate to prepare a defense” (… 7 NYCRR 251-3.1 [c]). Here, the misbehavior report, which was prepared by the correction officer who tested the substance, simply stated that a substance given to him by another correction officer tested positive for marihuana. Significantly, it did not indicate that the officer who gave him the substance obtained it from petitioner’s cell nor did it provide any details as to exactly where the substance was found.  To add to the confusion, the report listed the location of the incident as the “chart office.”  Matter of Simmons v Fischer, 514873, 3rd Dept, 4-25-13
