OPINION
VAIDIK, Judge.
Case Summary
Eric D. Smith, an inmate at Westville Correctional Center, appeals the trial court's dismissal of his complaint pursuant to Indiana Code § 34-58-1-2, which provides a screening procedure for offender litigation. We find that the trial court properly dismissed Smith's claims concerning the prison's disciplinary actions. However, we find that the trial court erroneously dismissed Smith's claims concerning excessive force used against him. We therefore affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
