Department of Corrections Immune from Wrongful Confinement Suit

The Third Department affirmed the dismissal of a complaint by an inmate suing the Department of Corrections for wrongful confinement (after the annulment of a disciplinary determination) on immunity grounds: “[A]ctions of correctional facility employees with respect to inmate discipline matters are quasi-judicial in nature and, unless the employees exceed the scope of their authority or violate the governing statutes and regulations, [defendant] has absolute immunity for those actions”… .Loret v State of New York, 514609, 3rd Dept, 5-2-13
