Description
Per Curiam: Maurice T. Gay, an inmate at the Maryland Correctional Adjustment Center,1 complained to Maryland's Inmate Grievance Office (IGO) that four correctional officers assaulted him and denied him medical care. After two adversary hearings at which witnesses testified under oath and at which Gay was allowed to call and cross-examine witnesses, the IGO found Gay's allegations to have no basis in fact. Gay did not take an administrative appeal, nor did he seek review of the IGO's findings in state court pursuant to Md. State Gov't Code Ann. § 10-222. Instead, he filed suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in federal district court. In his complaint he realleged the claims previously denied by the IGO, and he claimed that the administrative law Judge who presided over the second hearing denied him due process of law by cutting that hearing short. The ALJ ended the second hearing after Gay attempted to question witnesses about irrelevant issues and after Gay insulted a witness and the ALJ. The ALJ had warned Gay that his continued disruptive behavior would force her to terminate the hearing.2
