With respect to the first alleged attack, Claimant failed to file notice with the Court of Claims within one year as required by Section 22\u20141 of the Court of Claims Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, ch. 37, par. 439.22\u20141). With respect to the second alleged attack, Claimant has failed to pursue actions against his alleged inmate attackers in contravention of section 25 of the Court of Claims Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, ch. 37, par. 439.24\u20145), and cases such as Essex v. State, decided thereunder. Such potential attackers were previously identified to Claimant as part of the Department of Corrections\u2019 internal investigation, a copy of which was included as an exhibit to Respondent\u2019s departmental report, filed pursuant to section 790.140 of the Court of Claims Regulations on or about January 25,1989. Claimant\u2019s report further contains correspondence indicating that there was no staff negligence involved in such assault (see November 30, 1987, letter to Rick Dunbar from James Chrans).\nIt is hereby ordered that the motion of Respondent be, and the same hereby is, granted, and Claimant\u2019s claim is dismissed with prejudice.",
