Case Number
W2001-00961-COA-R3-CV
This appeal arises from the Appellees' denial of the Appellant's request to marry during the Appellant's incarceration. The Appellant filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Lake County against the Appellees for breach of contract and retaliation. The Appellees filed a motion to dismiss claiming that the Appellant failed to exhaust his administrative remedies and failed to state a claim for which relief can be granted. The Appellees filed a motion to stay discovery. The Appellant filed a motion for leave to amend his complaint. The Appellant sought to add new defendants and additional claims that were unrelated to his original claim. The trial court granted the Appellees' motion to dismiss. On appeal, this Court found that the trial court failed to rule on the motion to amend the original complaint. This Court dismissed the appeal on the basis that the order appealed from was not a final judgment. The trial court entered an order granting the motion to stay discovery, denying the motion to amend the original complaint, and dismissing the case. The Appellant appeals the decision of the Circuit Court of Lake County granting the motion to stay discovery, denying the motion to amend the original complaint, and dismissing the case. For the reasons stated herein, we affirm the trial court's decision.
