Waller v. Banks (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseWhile an inmate in the Arkansas Department of Correction (ADC) East Arkansas Regional Unit (EARU), Appellant stabbed a correctional officer in the chest with a piece of fence wire. Consequently, Appellant was transferred to the Varner Supermax Unit (VSM) of the ADC and assigned to the VSM Incentive Level Program. Appellant subsequently filed a complaint pursuant to the Arkansas Civil Rights Act, alleging that his placement in the VSM Incentive Level Program violated his constitutional rights, including his rights to due process and equal protection. The trial court dismissed the complaint. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that because Appellant failed to raise any legitimate constitutional issue in his petition, the trial court did not err in dismissing the complaint based on Petitioner's failure to state a claim for relief.
