Issues
| Issue | Plaintiff's Argument | Defendant's Argument | Held |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jail-time credit calculation excluding Alvis House | Kilgore contends credit should include Alvis House time. | Kilgore's motion reiterates identical claims; court already denied credit for non-CBCC time. | Assignments I, II, III barred; res judicata; judgment affirmed. |
| Jail-time credit calculation excluding VOA program time | Kilgore contends credit should include VOA program time. | Time at VOA is not Community Based Correctional Facility time, no extra credit. | Assignments I, II, III barred; res judicata; judgment affirmed. |
| Authority to adjudicate jail-time credit upon second motion | Kilgore sought adjudication after prior ruling recalculating jail-time credit. | Court already addressed recalculation via June 27, 2013 entry. | Court lacked jurisdiction to revisit through adjudication; judgment affirmed. |
