Smith v. Hobbs

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the inmate's petition for judicial review of an ADC disciplinary decision, although it relied on a different ground than the circuit court. The petition did not allege facts sufficient to raise a constitutional question or establish deprivation of a liberty interest, so it did not state a claim eligible for judicial review. The court also held that the ADC timely responded and that the inmate was not entitled to a default judgment or a due-process hearing.
