ORDER
GRIEVANCE NO. PCI 1525-07
This
appeal is before this Court pursuant to Al-Shabazz v. State, 338 S.C.
354, 527 S.E.2d 742 (2000), Sullivan v. S.C. Dep’t of Corrections, 355
S.C. 437, 586 S.E.2d 124 (2003), Slezak v. S.C. Dep’t of Corrections,
361 S.C. 327, 605 S.E.2d 506 (2004), and Furtick v. S.C. Dep’t of
Corrections, 374 S.C. 334, 649 S.E.2d 35 (2007).
Appellant seeks review of a decision of the S.C. Department of Corrections
dated October 4, 2007. Having reviewed the record, applicable law, and the
briefs filed by the parties in this matter, I find no indication of
arbitrariness or capriciousness in the Department’s decision. Further, I
conclude that there are no issues of colorable merit that warrant discussion. The
Department’s decision to deny Appellant’s grievance was the result of a routine
exercise of the Department’s administrative responsibilities that is supported
by sufficient evidence in the record. Accordingly, the Department’s decision
in this matter should be affirmed.
IT
IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Department’s decision in the above-captioned appeal
is AFFIRMED.
AND
IT IS SO ORDERED.
