Dr. Richard Sweet v. State Technical

Dr. Richard Sweet, plaintiff-appellant, brings this appeal to contest his discharge from employment as project director of Comprehensive Education and Rehabilitation in a Correctional Environment (C.E.R.C.E.). This was a grant program of the Tennessee Department of Corrections for the benefit of state prisoners funded by the Tennessee Law Enforcement Planning Agency and conducted under the auspices of the defendant, State Technical Institute at Memphis (S.T.I.M.). The trial court in upholding plaintiffs discharge determined that there was material evidence to sustain his termination adduced through the various administrative procedures in which plaintiff had sought to test the validity of that termination.
