| Rickey Moorman v. Dept of Correction
M1999-02675-COA-R3-CV
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. We affirm the trial court's conclusion that the prisoner's petition fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

| William Allen Jones v. Travelers Casualty& Surety
E1999-01548-WC-R3-CV
This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. _ 5-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. The appellant-employee appealed the trial court's ruling that his injury was of a temporary nature and that appellee was only liable for medical expenses to the date of the trial. Appellant argues the only expert medical evidence established his injury was of a permanent nature. Judgment of the trial court is reversed to fix permanent disability at 2% to the body as a whole and case is remanded to enforce other alternative findings.

| Jeff Utley v. Department of Corrections
M1999-01412-COA-R3-CV
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.

M1999-01661-COA-R3-CV
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.
