THE RECORD DOES NOT REFLECT THE MEASURES TAKEN BY THE HEARING OFFICER TO DETERMINE THE BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE REQUESTED BY THE PETITIONER DID NOT EXIST; DETERMINATION ANNULLED AND NEW HEARING ORDERED (THIRD DEPT).

​The Third Department, annulling the misbehavior determination, held that petitioner-inmate’s request for body camera footage was improperly denied:

We … find merit to petitioner’s contention that his request for body camera footage was improperly denied. Upon petitioner’s request for such footage at the hearing, the Hearing Officer responded that the correction officer’s body camera was turned off and, therefore, such footage did not exist. The record does not reflect the measures taken or the basis upon which the Hearing Officer concluded that the footage did not exist … . As such, petitioner’s request for the body camera footage was improperly denied and, under these circumstances, the appropriate remedy is remittal for a new hearing … . Matter of Dorcinvil v Miller, 2022 NY Slip Op 06972, Third Dept 12-8-22

Practice Point: Here the petitioner-inmate requested body camera footage. The hearing officer denied the request, saying that the body camera had been turned off. Because the record did not reflect the steps taken by the hearing officer to defermine the footage didn’t exist, the determination was annulled and a new hearing was ordered.
