In the above-captioned matter, Appellant challenges his February 18, 2004 disciplinary
conviction by Respondent South Carolina Department of Corrections (Department) for the use of
marijuana, for which the Department imposed a number of sanctions upon Appellant, including the
revocation of ninety days of his “good-time” credit. However, by a Motion for Remand filed on
January 4, 2005, the Department informed this tribunal that “some procedural problems were
noted” in Appellant’s disciplinary proceeding, and, therefore, it requested that “this case be
remanded so that the Department may overturn [Appellant’s] conviction and restore any lost good
time.” While Appellant has not filed a response to this motion, the proposed remand would grant
him the relief he seeks in this matter.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Department’s Motion for Remand is
GRANTED and this matter is REMANDED to the Department for it to overturn Appellant’s
disciplinary conviction and restore to Appellant any good-time credit lost as a result of the
conviction.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
