Preliminarily, we reject petitioner’s assertion that the hearing was not completed in a timely fashion, as the record reflects that valid extensions were obtained to accommodate, among other things, petitioner’s request for certain witnesses (see Matter of Farrell v Selsky, 32 AD3d 1103, 1104 [2006]). Moreover, the regulatory time limits are directory, not mandatory, and we reject petitioner’s contention that he was prejudiced by the resulting delay (see Matter of Chaney v Selsky, 37 AD3d 983, 984 [2007]).
As for petitioner’s claim that the Hearing Officer erred in failing to provide him with a copy of his spouse’s sworn statement, we need note only that the text of that statement was read into the record, petitioner was afforded an opportunity to review the statement and he used the contents thereof to both raise various objections and question his spouse. Therefore, we are unable to discern any prejudice to petitioner.
With regard to the omission of certain NIK testing documents, where, as here, an inmate is charged with smuggling and conspiracy, “the documentation requirements of 7 NYCRR 1010.5 do not apply” (Matter of Lovett v Goord, 26 AD3d 563, 564 [2006]) and, in any event, petitioner’s spouse admitted that the substance was marihuana. Finally, the misbehavior report, the testimony adduced at the hearing, the transcript of a three-way telephone conversation between petitioner, his sister and his wife and the confidential information contained in the record provide substantial evidence of petitioner’s guilt (see id. at 564; Matter of Johnson v Goord, 7 AD3d 863, 863-864 [2004]).
Cardona, P.J., Carpinello, Rose, Lahtinen and Kane, JJ., concur. Adjudged that the determination is confirmed, without costs, and petition dismissed.
