STATE COURT CASES
13-2-8701 Boone v. Department of Corrections, App. Div. (per curiam) (3 pp.) Appellant, an inmate incarcerated at East Jersey State Prison, appeals from a staff decision of the Department of Corrections (DOC) upholding agency policy, embodied in regulation N.J.A.C. 10A:18-2.3, preventing inmates from receiving postage stamps from outside sources. On February 6, 2009, appellant submitted an Inmate Remedy System (IRS) form, complaining that the policy banning receipt of postage stamps from outside sources is illegal as violative of the Administrative Code and the New Jersey Administrative Procedure Act. Where the record is barren of any final agency decision, the appellate panel declines to address the merits of the dispute. Rather, the panel remands to the DOC with direction to treat appellant’s submission of February 6, 2009 as his administrative appeal and thereafter to finally adjudicate the issues raised therein.
