Padilla v. Sherman CA5
Appellant, Ramon Padilla, an inmate at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison at Corcoran (CSAT), filed a petition for writ of mandate seeking an order directing CSAT personnel to process his inmate appeal. The trial court summarily denied the petition. The court concluded it did not have jurisdiction to rule on the petition because appellant had not exhausted his administrative remedies.
The trial court did have jurisdiction over the claims stated in appellant’s petition. Accordingly, the order denying the petition is reversed.
