Disciplinary Hearings (Inmates)

FAILURE TO PRODUCE A COPY OF THE MAIL WATCH AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED THAT THE DETERMINATION BE ANNULLED AND EXPUNGED.

The Third Department determined the respondent did not demonstrate the mail watch which led to the charges against petitioner was properly authorized. The related evidence could not be the basis for the determination, which was annulled and expunged:

… [P]etitioner requested a copy of the mail watch authorization four times during the course of the hearing, but it was never produced and is not part of the record. Although the senior investigator testified that the mail watch was authorized by the Superintendent of the facility, the reason for its issuance and the specific facts underlying it were never disclosed and are not apparent from the record. Under these circumstances, we find that authorization for the mail watch was not established in accordance with the requirements of 7 NYCRR 720.3 (e) (1) … . Inasmuch as correspondence obtained through the unlawful mail watch was instrumental in finding petitioner guilty of solicitation and violating facility correspondence procedures, that part of the determination must ,,, be annulled … . Matter of Wilson v Commissioner of N.Y. State Dept. of Corr. & Community Supervision, 2017 NY Slip Op 01921, 3rd Dept 3-16-17
