AUTHORIZATION TO OPEN PETITIONER’S MAIL WAS INVALID.

The Third Department determined the authorization purporting to allow the opening of petitioner’s mail was invalid:

Petitioner argues that his mail was opened in violation of established mail watch procedures. Specifically, petitioner contends that the “express written authorization” that permitted facility personnel to open, inspect or read his outgoing correspondence (7 NYCRR 720.3 [3] [e]) failed to “set forth the specific facts forming the basis for the action” (7 NYCRR 720.3 [e] [1]) and, as such, the subject authorization was invalid.
