01-1542 McClain v. Smith, et al.

Listen to this article

Spencer McClain appeals pro se from the order dismissing his action against the Wisconsin Parole Commission (Commission) and against several parole commissioners individually on the ground that the complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. McClain is a Wisconsin inmate housed in Whiteville Correctional Facility in Whiteville, Tennessee. In February 2000, Parole Commissioner Arely Gonnering conducted a parole hearing via telephone with McClain and denied McClain parole. McClain challenged this parole denial in circuit court, and the circuit court dismissed his complaint for failure to state a claim. McClain contends the circuit court erroneously dismissed his complaint because it shows he is entitled to relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and on various state law grounds.

We disagree and affirm the circuit court’s order dismissing the complaint.

This opinion will not be published.
