Palin v. Coughlin

—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: After a superintendent’s hearing, petitioner was found guilty of violating prison disciplinary rules prohibiting rioting and possession of a weapon, based upon his activities in an inmate uprising at Southport Correctional Facility on May 28, 1991. Following administrative review of the determination, petitioner brought this proceeding contending that the determination should be annulled because of the ineffective assistance of his employee assistant, who failed to obtain photographs of the uprising taken by the New York State Police.
