Thomas v. Bush

This is an appeal from an order dismissing a suit for failure to comply with the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code requirements for suits filed by inmates. Dan Thomas filed suit on October 14, 1999, alleging that Ronald Bush, Linda Nelson, and C. E. Monroe, all of whom were employees of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division, violated his civil rights under color of law by bringing false disciplinary charges against Thomas. See 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Pamph. 2000).
