Welton v. State, Dept. of Corrections

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of three administrative appeals from Department of Corrections grievance proceedings. It held that the grievances were neither adjudicatory proceedings nor proceedings that produced a record adequate for appellate review, so the superior court lacked subject matter jurisdiction under the exception permitting judicial review of certain constitutional claims. The court stated that its ruling did not prevent Welton from pursuing the claims through an independent civil action.
