OUTCOME: The order of the Court of Appeals was reversed, and the case was remanded for further proceedings.
This case requires this court to determine whether petitioner, an inmate, was "adversely affected or aggrieved" by an order of the Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision (board). Petitioner initia ... lly sought administrative review of a board order that delayed his release date for two years and required that he undergo a psychological evaluation before release. In response, the board entered a new order that changed petitioner's projected release date to one year, but retained the requirement that petitioner undergo a psychological evaluation. Petitioner again sought administrative review, arguing that he should not have to undergo a psychological evaluation and that the board should release him in a year without such an evaluation. The board rejected that argument. Petitioner then sought judicial review in the Court of Appeals. The board moved to dismiss, arguing that the board's order did not adversely affected or aggrieved petitioner in the manner necessary to establish appellate jurisdiction. The Court of Appeals agreed with the board and dismissed the petition for judicial review by order for lack of jurisdiction. We allowed petitioner's petition for review and now conclude that the Court of Appeals erred in dismissing petitioner's petition.
