ORDERS:
DENIAL OF MOTION TO ALTER OR AMEND
Grievance No. Lieber-0363-00
I. Introduction
An order of March 30, 2001, as amended on April 3, 2001 dismissed this matter since no specific injury was
shown by Wiley G. Ouzts (Ouzts) from actions taken by the South Carolina Department of Corrections
(DOC). Ouzts seeks to alter or amend the dismissal order.
II. Analysis
No ALJD Rule related to Al-Shabazz, v. State, 338 S.C. 354, 527 S.E.2d 742 provides for the reopening of
a decided case. However, an ALJ "has the power and duty to decide all issues necessary to the
determination of its own jurisdiction" See State v. Keenan, 278 S.C. 361, 296 S.E.2d 676 (1982).
Here, no injury to Ouzts has been established and nothing in the Motion to Alter or Amend establishes an
injury. Accordingly, no alteration or amendment to the dismissal order of March 30, 2001 as amended on
April 3, 2001 can be granted.
III. Order
The request to alter or amend the dismissal orders of March 30, 2001, as amended on April 3, 2001 is denied.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED
