Ex Parte Boykinsgreen

2009Although Ex parte Boykins, 862 So.2d 587, 593 (Ala.2002), suggests that the inmate may remedy DOC’s error by petitioning for a writ of certiorari in a court of competent jurisdiction, it suffices to say here that such a petition has yet to be filed.

2005The Alabama Supreme Court's decision in Ex parte Boykins, 862 So.2d 587 (Ala. 2002), held that the DOC inmate classifications did not implicate a liberty interest; therefore, the proper method by which to obtain review of the DOC's decision on inmate classification was by writ of certiorari.
