Lancaster v. Utah State Prison
Lancaster v. Utah State Prison
Opinion of the Court
Memorandum of Decision
By his complaint, plaintiff sought damages from the State of Utah and the individual prison officers for injuries he received in a fire at the Utah State Prison where plaintiff is lawfully incarcerated. Plaintiff also sued Savogran Company on a products liability theory but that defendant was never served with process. The district court dismissed the State of Utah, the Utah State Prison, and the individual defendants, all of whom are employees at the prison, and plaintiff has appealed from that order. We find no error.
All other issues raised by plaintiff in this appeal were not raised before the district court, and we therefore decline to discuss them. Interlake Co. v. Von Hake, 697 P.2d 238 (Utah 1985); Berrett v. Stevens, 690 P.2d 553 (Utah 1984); Allred v. Smith, 674 P.2d 99 (Utah 1983).
Affirmed.
