Description
A written misbehavior report can constitute substantial evidence of an inmate's misconduct (Matter of Perez v Wilmot, 67 N.Y.2d 615, 616-617; People ex rel. Vega v Smith, 66 N.Y.2d 130). The focus of the court's inquiry therefore is not on whether the evidence
is hearsay, but on whether it is "sufficiently relevant and probative" (Matter of Perez v Wilmot, supra; People ex rel. Vega
v Smith, supra, at 140) to constitute substantial evidence. A misbehavior report may be made by an employee "who has observed
the incident or who has ascertained the facts." (7 NYCRR 251-1.4 [b].)
