What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NEVADA
Husband in prison 20 years, 2 write ups, one tattoo gun, one receipt of letter with sexual content (from me, his wife). Gets a bad tooth abscess, cannot get med attention. I foolishly advised him to show the tooth to a dental staff, he approached one, and she, from 40 ft away, said "are you waiting to talk to me?", he said yes, she returned to clinic, called cops. Husband was "arrested," interrogated by AWO & LT, staff said it was no big deal, he was returned to his house, incident was dismissed.
He was re-arrested by a different LT the following morning, who put him in D-seg and sanctioned him with three major write ups for threatening and interfering with staff, and not being where he was supposed to be.
He got 18 months in (D-seg) the hole. Filed writ of mandamus seeking monetary relief, was shot down in state supreme court, said it was a district matter; our Nevada Statue declares that all such mandamus regarding civil rights complaints under title 42 USC 1983 are to be litigated in "the highest court of the state," which I took to mean Supreme Court, which is why I filed it there.
Can I refile a mandamus addressing administrative liability, maybe a type of "double jeopardy," or prejudicial sanctioning, oversanctioning; the statement of woman staff in question did not include words threatening or interfering or anything close to that, she was afraid because he was in for murder. Isn't that her problem, she works in a prison? what recourse do we have 14 months after the event?
