Mark v. State

HARRIS, Justice.

Prisoner Kim Mark brought this postcon-viction proceeding to challenge discipline imposed on him for making false statements and for engaging in sexual misconduct. The matters for which he was disciplined came to light after Mark reported to prison officials that he had been raped by another inmate. Mark correctly claims he has a first amendment right to report a grievance to prison officials. He maintains the imposition of discipline here violated that right, and also challenges the discipline imposed under the circumstances here as contrary to public policy.

We readily agree…
