David J. Williams v. Tennessee Department of Correction M1999-01661-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr. Trial Court Judge: Carol L. Mccoy This appeal involves a dispute between a prisoner and the Department of Correction regarding the expiration date of his Class X life sentence for aggravated rape. After unsuccessfully petitioning the Department for a declaratory order, the prisoner filed a petition for declaratory judgment in the Chancery Court for Davidson County asserting that the Department's Disciplinary Punishment Guidelines require the Department to treat his life sentence as one that fully expires in thirty years. The trial court granted the Department's Tenn. R. Civ. P. 12.02(6) motion, and the prisoner has appealed. We have determined that the trial court properly determined that the prisoner had failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment dismissing the prisoner's complaint.	Davidson	Court of Appeals	04/27/00

Koch, Jr. Trial Court Judge: Ellen Hobbs Lyle This appeal involves a dispute between a prisoner and the Tennessee Department of Correction regarding the calculation of his sentence credits and his release eligibility date. After unsuccessfully petitioning for a declaratory order, the prisoner filed a petition in the Chancery Court for Davidson County seeking a declaratory judgment regarding his entitlement to sentence credits as well as a determination that he was entitled to immediate release. The trial court granted the Department's Tenn. R. Civ. P. 12.02(6) motion to dismiss, and the prisoner has appealed.

Jeff Utley v. Department of Corrections M1999-01412-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr. Trial Court Judge: Carol L. Mccoy This appeal involves a dispute between a prisoner and the Department of Correction regarding his punishment for two unrelated disciplinary offenses. On both occasions, the Department extended the prisoner's release eligibility date in accordance with versions of Tenn. Dep't Corr. Policy Index No. 502.02 issued after he committed the crimes for which he was incarcerated. The prisoner filed a complaint in the Chancery Court for Davidson County asserting that the Department's application of the later version of the policy to him violated the Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States Constitution. The trial court granted the Department's Tenn. R. Civ. P. 12.02(6) motion, and the prisoner has appealed. We have determined that the prisoner's complaint fails to state a colorable ex post facto claim under either the federal or state constitution. Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal of the prisoner's complaint.	Davidson	Court of Appeals	04/27/00
