STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS
BOBBY L. HARRIS,
UNPUBLISHED
December 20, 1996
Plaintiff-Appellee,
v
No. 172073
LC No. 93-075931-AA
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS,
Defendant-Appellant.
Before: Hood, P.J., and Neff and M.A. Chrzanowski*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Plaintiff appeals as of right from an order dismissing his petition for review of a final decision by
the Department of Corrections for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. We affirm.
Plaintiff was disciplined for possession of contraband that was found in his cell. Plaintiff argues
that the trial court erred when it dismissed plaintiff’s petition for judicial review for failure to exhaust
administrative remedies. Plaintiff claims that because his constitutional right to due process was violated,
he was not required to exhaust his administrative remedies. Dickerson v Warden, Marquette Prison,
99 Mich App 630; 298 NW2d 841 (1980). We disagree.
The limited record provided reveals that plaintiff was given the charges on 8/18/93. A hearing
was held on 8/19/83, from which plaintiff was removed as disruptive. Defendant was permitted the
opportunity to submit questions to the witness he requested, but the sole question he presented was
deemed irrelevant. His request for fingerprints of the contraband was also ruled irrelevant. Plaintiff was
required to exhaust his administrative remedies, MCL 791.254(3); MSA 28.2320(54)(3) and MCL
791.255; MSA 28.2320(55). The trial court did not err.
Affirmed.
