SULLIVAN, Justice, for the Court:

On July 14, 1989, Edward Terrell, an inmate at South Mississippi Correctional Institution, filed a Motion to Show Cause in the Greene County Circuit Court. In this Motion, Terrell alleged that he was discriminated against by prison officials because of his race. Allegedly, the officials hired a white inmate for a job even though Terrell was better qualified. The court overruled the Motion and Terrell appeals that decision.
