Griffith v. Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Corrections, et al.
The ACLU of Colorado filed an appeal on behalf of a person incarcerated in the Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) whose case challenging a prison disciplinary conviction was dismissed because he missed the deadline for filing. Our client alleges he did everything he could to file on time and only missed the deadline because of CDOC’s own delay in providing him the documents he needed. The lower court agreed he had shown good cause for filing late but concluded it had no choice but to ignore those circumstances and apply the deadline strictly to bar his claims.
