SPOKANE — In a 2-1 decision, the Washington State Court of Appeals, Division 3, dismissed a lawsuit filed by a former Grant County Jail inmate who claimed the Department of Corrections (DOC) owed him protection from gang members.

Ahmet Hopovac, no city of residence or age listed, was released after a stint in the Grant County Jail for residential burglary, theft and forgery in January 2011. After his release, Hopovac reported to a Community Corrections office to start his court ordered community supervision. Per the conditions of Hopovac’s community supervision, he was prohibited from leaving Grant County and possessing a firearm.

When Hopovac initially reported for community supervision, he asked to transfer his supervision to Idaho, as he was homeless in Grant County and had family to live with in Idaho. The corrections officer handling his case told Hopovac they would discuss the issue the next day, but Hopovac did not report for an appointment the following day. A DOC warrant was issued for his arrest.
