Civ.R. 56, summary judgment, inmate, false imprisonment. Plaintiff, who was previously an inmate under the custody and control of defendant, filed an action asserting that defendant was liable to him for false imprisonment because his sentences were calculated incorrectly. Defendant argued that plaintiff could not prove his claim for false imprisonment because he was subject to post-release control and sentenced and incarcerated pursuant to a valid sentencing entry, and that his sentences were properly calculated. The court granted summary judgment in favor of defendant after finding that the evidence established that plaintiff was lawfully incarcerated by defendant pursuant to a series of valid sentencing entries and that plaintiff's sentence was calculated correctly. Judgment in favor of defendant.
