Jones v. FL Parole Comm'n, No. 13-12738 (11th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed suit challenging a Florida law that widens the permissible gap between parole interviews as violating, inter alia, the Ex Post Facto Clause. The district court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim. The court concluded that plaintiff has not alleged facts plausibly suggesting that he is at a significant risk of increased time in prison as a result of the Florida statute allowing longer intervals between parole interviews. Therefore, the district court properly screened plaintiff’s complaint as required by the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 28 U.S.C. 1915A, and properly dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted. The court rejected plaintiff's remaining claims.
