Appeals, Disciplinary Hearings (Inmates), Evidence

DENIALS OF PETITIONER’S REQUESTS FOR DOCUMENTS AND WITNESSES WERE PRESERVED FOR REVIEW, NO NEED FOR PETITIONER TO SPECIFICALLY OBJECT.

The Court of Appeals determined Supreme Court erred when it held petitioner (Henry, an inmate charged with participating in an assault) had not preserved evidentiary issues for review. Henry had requested certain documents and witness-testimony which were not provided. The Court of Appeals found the denial of Henry’s requests was preserved despite his failure to specifically object during the hearing:

An inmate charged with violating a prison regulation is entitled to due process protections which include a right “to call witnesses and present documentary evidence in his defense when permitting him to do so will not be unduly hazardous to institutional safety or correctional goals” … . Contrary to the conclusion of the Appellate Division, Henry cannot be deemed to have waived his challenges simply because he failed to make specific objections at the hearing.

In sum, the record shows that Henry plainly requested access to specific documents and witnesses, and the Hearing Officer denied some of those requests. In light of the denial of Henry’s requests, the courts below erred in determining that Henry’s failure to specifically object to the Hearing Officer’s unfavorable rulings constituted a failure to preserve those rulings for judicial review. Matter of Henry v Fischer, 2016 NY Slip Op 08395, CtApp 12-15-16
