PETITIONER WAS DENIED HIS RIGHT TO CALL WITNESSES, NEW HEARING ORDERED (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department annulled the determination and ordered a new disciplinary hearing because petitioner was denied his right to call witnesses:

​

“An inmate has a right to call witnesses at a disciplinary hearing so long as the testimony is not immaterial or redundant and poses no threat to institutional safety or correctional goals” … . Respondent correctly concedes that the Hearing Officer violated petitioner’s right to call witnesses as provided in the regulations … . Inasmuch as a good faith reason for denying the witnesses appears in the record, only petitioner’s regulatory right, not his constitutional right, to call those witnesses was violated, and thus the proper remedy is a new hearing … . Matter of Adams v Annucci, 2018 NY Slip Op 00695, Fourth Dept 2-2-18
