HEARING OFFICER FAILED TO CONSIDER MEDICAL EVIDENCE SUPPORTING PETITIONER’S CLAIM HE WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A URINE SAMPLE, DETERMINATION EXPUNGED.

The Third Department expunged petitioner's disciplinary determination finding that the hearing officer improperly failed to consider medical evidence demonstrating petitioner was unable to provide a urine sample, and did not refuse to provide a sample:

[Petitioner] informed the Hearing Officer of his medical condition during the hearing and also provided medical documentation establishing that he had problems providing urine specimens in the past due to this condition. The Hearing Officer downplayed the significance of petitioner's medical condition and did not consider the medical documentation submitted even though it was sent prior to the conclusion of the hearing. The only evidence that the Hearing Officer considered was the misbehavior report and the request for urinalysis form. The request for urinalysis form indicated that petitioner did not willfully refuse to submit the specimen, but also stated that petitioner did not claim to be unable to submit the specimen in the presence of others. Given this inconsistency in the request for urinalysis form, the absence of any testimony concerning the administration of the urinalysis test or petitioner's medical condition and the Hearing Officer's failure to consider the medical documentation submitted, we find that the determination at issue is not supported by substantial evidence … . Matter of Katsanos v Prack, 2016 NY Slip Op 01531, 3rd Dept 3-3-16
