Martin Walker vs. State

Martin Walker, an inmate in the Penal System of this State, filed two separate claims against the State in the amount of $30,000 and $1,000,000, alleging his constitutional rights of equal protection and due process were violated. The State's response contends that the claims he makes are not authorized against the State by T.C.A. 9-8-307(a), and also that both claims are barred by the one-year Statute of Limitations. The Claims Commissioner dismissed his claims and we affirm.
