Court of Civil Appeals of Oklahoma April 13, 2004, No. 99,976 (Horvat v. State ex rel. Department of Corrections)

TOM COLBERT, Chief Judge.

¶ 1 Shawn M. Horvat, an employee of the Department of Corrections (DOC), appeals from a summary judgment in favor of DOC and the Merit Protection Commission (MPC). The issue on appeal is whether MPC’s rule that an appeal is filed on the day it is received rather than on the day it is mailed violates Oklahoma’s Constitution.
