Syllabus
Civ.R. 56 motion for summary judgment negligence conditions of confinement constitutional claim jurisdiction. Defendant was entitled to summary judgment on plaintiff's claim of negligence alleging that defendant's failure to timely facilitate his notarized signature on a document and process his mail timely caused him to suffer economic loss through the failure of a prospective real estate transaction because plaintiff's claim of negligence ultimately amounted to be a challenge to plaintiff's conditions of confinement over which the Court of Claims lacks jurisdiction. Additionally, it was determined that violations of internal prison policy do not, by themselves, provide a basis for a negligence cause of action. Judgment for defendant.
