Williams v. Frakes

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Williams’ claims concerning the computation of her tentative mandatory release date. It held that her § 1983 claims were unavailable because the requested relief would necessarily shorten the duration of her confinement, and that § 84-911 did not waive sovereign immunity because she challenged the agency’s interpretation of sentencing law rather than the validity of a rule or regulation. The court declined to resolve prudential ripeness because the claims were disposed of on other grounds.
