Court reviews prisoner's claims for medical malpractice, negligence, and violation of the right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment

JOE HENRY MOORE v. STATE OF TENNESSEE (Tenn. Ct. App. December 23, 2009)

This case arises out of a prisoner's claims for medical malpractice, negligence, and violation of his right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment under the state and federal constitutions. The claims commission, in two separate orders, wholly resolved the prisoner's claims in favor of the State of Tennessee. Because the prisoner has not argued or otherwise provided any basis for this Court to determine the alleged errors in the judgment of the claims commission, we affirm.
