Sharp v. Baldwin

Plaintiff is serving a sentence for 1970 murder of a police officer. Court properly dismissed with prejudice Plaintiff's complaint for mandamus. Plaintiff argues that he is entitled to credit for educational programs that he allegedly completed prior to 1/1/18, but that would be giving him credit for participation that occurred prior to the effective date of the amendatory act, which is outside the clear statutory mandate. Thus, allegations were insufficient to establish a cause of action upon which relief may be granted. (HUTCHINSON and ZENOFF, concurring.)
