This matter is an appeal by Stevie Goolsby, #178320 (Goolsby) of a final decision in a non-collateral or administrative matter issued by the South Carolina Department of Corrections
(DOC). Thus, appellate review jurisdiction vests in the Administrative Law Court (ALC).
Slezak v. South Carolina Department of Corrections, 361 S.C. 327, 605 S.E.2d 506 (2004).
However, DOC now agrees that several procedural errors were made below. Thus, DOC seeks
to have the current matter remanded and asserts that it will overturn Goolsby's conviction for
sexual misconduct.
Accordingly, this matter is remanded to DOC for further review. In addition, DOC shall
overturn the violation involved here but shall have discretion to retry the offense in accordance
with proper procedural standards.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
