Robert Beese appeals from an order dismissing his attempted civil rights action against both the author of his presentence investigation report (PSI) and that individual’s supervisor in the Probation and Parole Division of the Department of Corrections (DOC). Beese challenges the trial court’s determinations that he failed to exhaust administrative remedies and that the DOC officials were entitled to absolute judicial immunity. He also claims the trial court erred in refusing his request for a substitution of judge.
Because we agree with the later claim, we reverse with directions that the matter be assigned to a different judge on remand.
This opinion will not be published.
