Automated case summary
What the court decided
The Georgia Court of Appeals held that Mario Williams' claims for conversion and invasion of privacy against the Department of Corrections were barred by sovereign immunity because he lacked a possessory interest in unmailed letters. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's dismissal of these claims, finding no waiver of sovereign immunity or protectable privacy interest in those specific items.
