District & No.

Fourth District Docket No. 4-10-0351 July 20, 2011 An inmate's petition for a writ of mandamus alleging that prison officials unlawfully failed to restore his access to the prison's exercise yard and seeking the removal of all inmate disciplinary reports from his records and the return of his confiscated "legal and personal property" was properly dismissed as frivolous due to the lack of an arguable basis in the law or fact and the absence of supporting evidence.
