Terry v. State

In Terry v. State (1988), 41 Ill. Ct. Cl. 164, the record revealed that the claimant had received the decision of the Institutional Inquiry Board. The claimant in Terry contended that he "wrote Springfield, the Administrative Review Board." That claimant contended that he had not heard from the Administrative Review Board. That claimant kept no copy of his correspondence with the Administrative Review Board. Interrogation by the State revealed that the claimant had not had a hearing before the Administrative Review Board. Thus, the Court concluded that the claimant had not exhausted his administrative remedies in accordance with section 790.60 of the Court of Claims Regulations. (74 Ill. Adm. Code 790.60.) In light of the fact that claimant had sought a final adjudication of his claim without exhausting administrative remedies, the claim in Terry, supra, was denied.
