In the Matter of RAMON CEPEDA, Petitioner, v. GLENN S. GOORD, as Commissioner of Correctional Services, Respondent.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Third Department.

Decided May 22, 2003.


Petitioner was found guilty of violating the prison disciplinary rule that prohibits inmates from refusing to obey a direct order. The misbehavior report relates that petitioner failed to comply with a correction officer's order to report for work at the facility's law library. Although it was not one of petitioner's regularly-scheduled work days, the officer explained to petitioner that he was needed because the library was short of workers.
