Description
On September 20, 1977 the petitioner was an inmate of Great Meadow Correctional Facility (hereafter Great Meadow) serving a term of imprisonment for robbery in the second degree and on that day was duly elected a representative to the prisons Inmate Grievance Resolution Committee (hereafter IGRC). Petitioners term of office was for six months and he took office on October 1, 1977. Six days later petitioner was ordered transferred to the Green Haven Correctional Facility (hereafter Green Haven) and the commissioner concedes that the transfer was arbitrary and capricious. By verified petition and order to show cause dated November 23, 1977, petitioner sought his return to Great Meadow, restoration to his elected position on IGRC and restraint upon any future transfer during his term of office. After the denial of several preliminary motions an answer was interposed on December 30, 1977 which denied petitioners right to avoid transfer because of his IGRC office and indicated that petitioner would be returned to Great Meadow but not to his seat on IGRC. With petitioners reply were affidavits which expressed a willingness on the part of petitioners successor, the alternate representative, to step down in favor of the petitioner.
