THE EVIDENCE DID NOT SUPPORT THE DETERMINATION PETITIONER-INMATE WAS GUILTY OF “CREATING A DISTURBANCE” (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, annulling the disciplinary determination, held the evidence did not demonstrate petitioner-inmate was guilty of “creating a disturbance:”

Pursuant to the relevant regulations, an incarcerated individual “shall not engage in conduct which disturbs the order of any part of the facility” (7 NYCRR 270.2 [B] [5] [iv]). Such disruptive conduct includes, as relevant here, “loud talking in a mess hall, program area or corridor” (7 NYCRR 270.0 [B] [5] [iv]). The misbehavior report, which was the sole evidence relied upon by the Hearing Officer, provided, in relevant part, that petitioner was observed “arguing” with another incarcerated individual “in the dorm hallway . . ., which drew the attention of the [incarcerated individuals] nearby.” The misbehavior report does not reflect that petitioner was screaming … or otherwise speaking in a loud or boisterous manner … , nor does it establish that petitioner’s behavior triggered an affirmative response on the part of the incarcerated individuals observing the alleged argument … . Similarly, petitioner was found not guilty of fighting, and there were no other established disciplinary infractions that would give rise to a reasonable inference that his conduct was disruptive … . In short, as the misbehavior report fails to identify the manner in which petitioner’s conduct disturbed the order of the facility, we cannot say that respondent’s determination is supported by substantial evidence … .
