Tyner v. Kelso

Supreme Court of Georgia

391 S.E.2d 406 (Ga. 1990)

Opinion

S90A0699.

DECIDED MAY 17, 1990.

Mandamus. Lee Superior Court. Before Judge Gibson.

Curtis Tyner, pro se. Michael J. Bowers, Attorney General, C. LaTain Kell, Staff Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.


Petitioner is an inmate at Lee Correctional Institution (Institution). He brought an action for mandamus against the Warden of the Institution, seeking enforcement of an Institution handbook rule requiring that all stereo equipment be used with headphones or earplugs. The trial court dismissed the petition for failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted, and petitioner filed this appeal.

The issue raised by petitioner is one which cannot be reached judicially. However, we have every confidence that the administrators of the Institution will ensure that the handbook rule in question is enforced.

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.

DECIDED MAY 17, 1990.
