Turning to petitioner's procedural arguments, although petitioner was not present for the search of his cell, "cell searches may properly be conducted in an [incarcerated individual's] absence," and there is no evidence here that petitioner was excluded rather than just in a different location at the time ( Matter of Mingo v Chappius , 106 AD3d 1160, 1161 [3d Dept 2013]; cf. Matter of Kirby v Annucci , 147 AD3d 1134, 1135 [3d Dept 2017]).

Respondent concedes, and we agree, that the disciplinary determination — insofar as it found petitioner guilty of possessing drugs and smuggling — is not supported by substantial evidence and must be annulled to that extent ( see Matter of Kirby v Annucci , 147 AD3d 1134, 1134 [2017]; Matter of Chisholm v Annucci , 135 AD3d 1279, 1279 [2016]).

We also reject petitioner’s contention that there was a violation of Department of Corrections and Community Supervision Directive No. 4910, which “allows an inmate to observe a cell search when the inmate is removed from the cell for the search, unless a determination is rendered that such presence constitutes a safety or security risk” (Matter of Kirby v Annucci, 147 AD3d 1134, 1135 [2017] [internal quotation marks and citations omitted]).

As petitioner has already served the penalty and there was no loss of good time imposed, the matter need not be remitted for a reassessment of the penalty (see Matter of Kirby v Annucci, 147 AD3d 1134, 1134 [2017]).
