William Allen v. Donal Campbell, et al

Petitioner, a state inmate, filed the underlying pro se declaratory judgment action pursuant to the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act to seek review of the Tennessee Department of Correction's refusal to answer a petition for a declaratory order. Petitioner requested a declaratory order to determine his entitlement to both good conduct sentence credits and good and honor time credits. The trial court granted the Department's motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim holding that petitioner was not entitled to duplicate sentence credits. For the following reasons, we affirm the decision of the trial court.
