INSUFFICIENT PROOF OF THE TESTING USED TO DETERMINE THE SUBSTANCES WERE CONTRABAND DRUGS, POSSESSION OF DRUGS CHARGE ANNULLED (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department annulled the possession of drugs charge because the proof of the testing procedures used on the substances alleged to be drugs was insufficient:

When positive results of a test of suspected contraband drugs are used as evidence at a disciplinary hearing, 7 NYCRR 1010.5 (d) directs that certain documents, including “a statement of the scientific princip[les] and validity of the testing materials and procedures used,” be included in the record. This required document does not appear in the record, nor was it provided to petitioner despite his specific request and objections. Further, testimony from the testing officer offered no evidence of the procedures used. In view of the foregoing, that part of the determination finding petitioner guilty of possessing drugs is not supported by substantial evidence and must be annulled … . Matter of McFarlane v Annucci, 2019 NY Slip Op 07123, Third Dept 10-3-19
