PATTERSON, SENECA v. FISCHER, BRIAN
Citation: Not availableDocket: TP 12-01865
Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; March 15, 2013; New York; State Appellate Court
Original Court Document: View Document
The Supreme Court of New York, Appellate Division, upheld the revocation of Seneca Patterson's postrelease supervision in a unanimous decision. The court confirmed the determination made by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, which found substantial evidence supporting the revocation based on violations of curfew and domestic violence conditions. Following a hearing where evidence was presented, including testimony from Patterson's parole officer, the court determined that the procedural requirements were met, leading to the dismissal of Patterson's petition challenging the decision. The ruling emphasizes that a revocation will be sustained if the evidence, when credited, justifies the determination. No costs were awarded in this proceeding.
