Ford v. Gricewich
Ray Byron Ford was an inmate at Kern Valley State Prison (KVSP) when he observed correctional officers treat another inmate in a manner that offended him. Ford filed a claim with the Inmate Appeals Board, reciting the facts of the incident and alleging that he suffered personal injury as a result. The Inmate Appeals Board denied the claim, asserting that Ford could not submit a claim on behalf of another inmate. Ford unsuccessfully attempted to pursue the claim as one for his own injuries.
Ford filed a petition for a writ of mandate in the trial court naming the members of the appeals board as respondents and seeking to compel them to reconsider his claim. Ford appealed to this court when the petition was denied. Court conclude that Ford has not stated facts that would entitle him to any remedy he sought and affirm the order denying the petition.
