2021 Colorado Code|Title 13 - Courts and Court Procedure|Article 17.5 - Costs - Attorney Fees - Inmate Lawsuits|§ 13-17.5-101. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly declares that the state has a strong interest in limiting substantially frivolous, groundless, or vexatious inmate lawsuits that impose an undue burden on the state judicial system. While recognizing an inmate's right to access the courts for relief from unlawful state actions, the general assembly finds that a significant number of inmates file substantially frivolous, groundless, or vexatious lawsuits.    The general assembly, therefore, determines that it is necessary to enact legislation that promotes efficiency in the disposition of inmate lawsuits by providing for preliminary matters to be determined by magistrates and to provide for sanctions against inmates who are allowed to file claims against public defendants and whose claims are dismissed as frivolous.

 As used in this article only:    “Civil action” means the filing of a complaint, petition, writ, or motion with any court within the state, including any appellate court; except that “civil action” does not include any criminal action or an action for habeas corpus under article 45 of this title. (1.5) “Detaining facility” means any state correctional facility, as defined in section 17-1-102 (1.7), C.R.S., including the youthful offender system, any private correctional facility housing state prisoners pursuant to part 2 of article 1 of title 17, C.R.S., any local jail, as defined in section 16-11-308.5 (1.5), C.R.S., or any community corrections program, established in article 27 of title 17, C.R.S. A detaining facility shall not include any juvenile detention facility that detains only juveniles.    “Inmate” means a person who is sentenced or is awaiting sentencing to any detaining facility.    “Public defendant” means any state, county, or municipal agency, any state, county, or municipal official or employee acting within the scope of his or her authority, or any agent acting on behalf of any state, county, or municipal agency.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 13 - Courts and Court Procedure|Article 17.5 - Costs - Attorney Fees - Inmate Lawsuits|§ 13-17.5-102.3. Exhaustion of Remedies

  No inmate shall bring a civil action based upon prison conditions under any statute or constitutional provision until all available administrative remedies have been exhausted in a timely fashion by the entity operating the detaining facility and inmate. For purposes of this subsection (1), an inmate shall be considered to have exhausted all available administrative remedies when the inmate has completed the last step in the inmate grievance process as set forth in the regulations promulgated by the entity operating the detaining facility. Failure to allege in the civil action that all available administrative remedies have been exhausted in accordance with this subsection (1) shall result in dismissal of the civil action.    Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, if a court finds that a claim filed by an inmate is frivolous, malicious, fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or seeks monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from monetary relief, a court may dismiss the claim without first requiring exhaustion of administrative remedies.     History. Source: L. 98: Entire section added, p. 247, § 2, effective April 13. L. 2001: (1) amended, p. 289, § 1, effective July 1.    ANNOTATION   This section requires an inmate to exhaust the last step in the inmate grievance process before proceeding to court. Glover v. State, 129 P.3d 1083 (Colo. App. 2005).   This section requires an inmate seeking access to his or her mental health records to first exhaust all available administrative remedies. Kopec v. Clements, 271 P.3d 607 (Colo. App. 2011).   An inmate's action seeking access to such records under § 24-72-305 of the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act (CCJRA) is not exempt from this requirement. Kopec v. Clements, 271 P.3d 607 (Colo. App. 2011).   However, section does not require exhaustion of administrative remedies before bringing a civil action based on prison conditions when the action consists only of claims brought under the common law. Adams v. Corr. Corp. of Am., 187 P.3d 1190 (Colo. App. 2008).   Section neither precludes plaintiffs from bringing an action in common law nor bars them from subsequently renewing a request for punitive damages if the prerequisites for such a request are met. Adams v. Corr. Corp. of Am., 187 P.3d 1190 (Colo. App. 2008).   Subsection (1) requires dismissal of the action for failure to allege the exhaustion of all administrative remedies, even if the relief sought may not be available through the administrative process.

 If the court determines, during the course of a state civil action by an inmate against any public defendant, that a federal civil action or grievance procedure is pending that involves the inmate and any of the same issues raised in the state civil action, the court shall stay the state civil action until the federal civil action or the grievance procedure is completed and all rights of appeal have been exhausted.

Assessment of Costs and Attorney Fees - Review of Inmate Spending From Account - Recovery of Costs From Inmate Accounts - Alternative Sanctions - Continuing Garnishment Authorized

     In any action based upon prison conditions brought under any statute or constitutional provision, if attorney fees are recoverable pursuant to any state or federal statute, no attorney fees shall be awarded to an inmate, except to the extent that:   The fees were directly and reasonably incurred in proving an actual violation of the inmate's rights protected by the constitution or statute; and    (A) The amount of the fees is proportionately related to the court-ordered relief for the violation; or       No award of attorney fees under paragraph (a) of this subsection (1) shall be based on an hourly rate in excess of one hundred fifty percent of the hourly rate paid to court-appointed counsel in the district in which the action was filed.    Whenever a separate monetary judgment is awarded in an action in which attorney fees are awarded under paragraph (a) of this subsection (1), a portion of the judgment not to exceed twenty-five percent shall be applied to reduce the amount of attorney fees awarded against the defendant.    Nothing in this subsection (1) shall prohibit an inmate from entering into an agreement to pay an attorney fee in excess of the amount authorized in this subsection (1), if the fee is paid by the individual rather than by a defendant.       The court may also enter judgment against an inmate who has been allowed to proceed as a poor person pursuant to section 13-16-103 for the amount of court costs and fees that the inmate would have incurred except for the provisions of that section, if the court awards attorney fees pursuant to subsection (1) of this section. The judgment entered by the court shall be collected and applied in accordance with subsection (3) of this section.    If judgment for costs and attorney fees is awarded to a public defendant or to the court, pursuant to subsection (1) or (2) of this section, the court, pursuant to section 13-54.5-102, shall issue a writ of continuing garnishment of the inmate's account with the detaining facility, which garnishment shall continue until the judgment is paid in full, notwithstanding the requirement set forth in section 13-54.5-103 that the garnishment be renewed.
