Holloway v. Beebe (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant was an inmate in the Department of Correction serving a life sentence. Appellant filed a complaint against the governor, the chairman of the parole board, and the chairman of the board of correction seeking a declaratory judgment, injunctive relief against Defendants for civil-rights violations, and relief as a taxpayer for an illegal exaction based on claims concerning the procedures for submission of applications for clemency. The circuit court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Appellant appealed and filed motions related to his appeal. The Supreme Court denied the motions and affirmed the circuit court's dismissal of the complaint, holding that the court did not abuse its discretion in concluding that Appellant failed to state a claim on the three bases that Appellant raised in this appeal.
