Stephen Plough, pro se, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Christopher D. Florian, of Columbia, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Stephen Plough, a civilly committed sexually violent predator (SVP), appeals the dismissal of his Department of Corrections (DOC) grievance by the Administrative Law Court (ALC). He argues he is entitled to grievance procedures to redress DOC's denying him a prevailing wage when he was incarcerated. We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-610(B) (Supp. 2010) (limiting reversal of an ALC decision unless "in violation of constitutional or statutory provisions; . . . [or] clearly erroneous in view of the reliable, probative, and substantial evidence on the whole record"); S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-600(D) (Supp. 2010) (providing the ALC "shall preside over all appeals from final decisions of contested cases"); S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-310(3) (2005) (defining "contested case" as a proceeding "in which the legal rights, duties, or privileges of a party are required by law to be determined by an agency after an opportunity for hearing"); Al-Shabazz v. State, 338 S.C. 354, 375, 527 S.E.2d 742, 753 (2000) ("An inmate brings a contested case for the purposes of judicial review when he challenges a disciplinary outcome, calculation of sentence related credits, custody status, or other condition of imprisonment."); S.C. Code Ann. § 44-48-100(A) (Supp. 2010) ("If the court or jury determines that the person is a [SVP], the person must be committed to the custody of the Department of Mental Health . . . ." (emphasis added)).
AFFIRMED.
