Charles McLaurin, Jr. v. State of Mississippi

MAXWELL, J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Charles McLaurin Jr. filed a flurry of motions after being sentenced to two concurrent four-years terms for his guilty pleas to two felony-shoplifting counts. Among them were his complaints about the Mississippi Department of Corrections’ handling of his incarceration. But McLau-rin’s judicial challenge to MDOC’s sentencing policy was untimely because he failed to seek judicial review within thirty days of exhausting his administrative remedies. So we lack jurisdiction to hear his appeal.
