Supreme Court of Iowa.

October 13, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Philip B. Mears of Mears Law Office, Iowa City, for plaintiff.

Thomas J. Miller, Attorney General, and William A. Hill, Assistant Attorney General, for defendant.

Considered by McGIVERIN, C.J., and LARSON, NEUMAN, SNELL, and TERNUS, JJ.


LARSON, Justice.

Herman Ronnfeldt was disciplined under a department of corrections rule prohibiting escape by inmates. He filed a postconviction relief action under Iowa Code chapter 822 (1995) claiming the prison disciplinary committee improperly applied the department's escape rules. The district court denied relief, and Ronnfeldt obtained a writ of certiorari in this court. We now annul the writ.
