Step 2 Formal Grievance 3/2/22 — IGP 22091955-909 mislabeled as group grievance

DC DOC Inmate Formal Grievance Form (Step 2, PP 4030.1 Attachment D) by Ryan Nichols dated 3/2/22. Appeal of IGP # 22091955-909 which was mistakenly labeled as a group grievance. Nichols clarifies he filed the grievance on behalf of himself only, his question is asked on his own behalf, and the context first explains the issue then second how it applies to him with a resolving question. Not the first time hes had a grievance mislabeled as a group grievance when its not — calls this a convenient way of not having to respond to the legitimate issues at hand. Witness margin: Sean Jenkins(?).
