Description
Chester G. Dickerson and Oscar J. Pratt, prisoners at the Marquette Branch Prison, were placed in solitary confinement following an administrative hearing in which their security classification was changed to one of ""administrative segregation"" pending an investigation of alleged misconduct by Dickerson and Pratt. Approximately one month after being placed in administrative segregation, Dickerson and Pratt filed in Marquette Circuit Court a document entitled ""Order to Show Cause"" in which they alleged that they had been denied Federal constitutional rights under color of state law, asserted that the circuit court had jurisdiction pursuant to 42 USC 1983, and sought certain injunctive relief and monetary damages against the warden of Marquette Prison. The Marquette Circuit Court, John E. McDonald, J., treated the pleadings as seeking relief and dismissed the proceedings on the basis that the plaintiffs had not exhausted their administrative remedies. After eight months in solitary confinement, plaintiffs had a disciplinary hearing and received penalties of seven days in solitary confinement. Plaintiffs appeal. Defendant filed a motion to dismiss the appeal. Held : 1. The motion to dismiss the appeal is denied.
