New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of Vincent Lahey v. Walter R. Kelly, as Superintendent of Attica Correctional Facility, Appellants In…
December 23, 198771 N.Y.2d 135
Summary
The Court held that a positive EMIT drug test confirmed by a second EMIT test constitutes substantial evidence to support a prison disciplinary finding of drug use, and that due process does not require specific notice of the time and place of alleged use; therefore the Appellate Division judgments annulling the determinations were reversed and the petitions dismissed.
