J.D. Hickman v. Board of Parole

Inmate filed a motion for declaratory relief regarding his rights to access certain materials held by the Board of Probation and Parole and sought an order from the trial court mandating the production of those materials at the expense of the Board. The trial court denied the motion for summary judgment filed by the inmate and dismissed the action in its entirety because the requirements for a mandatory injunction had not been met, but stated that the inmate was not prohibited from again seeking the materials by identifying the specific documents he wanted copied and paying in advance for the copies. We affirm the trial court's decision to deny the motion for summary judgment, but reverse the dismissal and remand.
