United States Supreme Court
MUHAMMAD v. CLOSE, 02-9065
Court of Appeal's dismissal of prisoner's section 1983 action is reversed where the rule in Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U. S. 477 (1994), which requires prisoners to resort to state litigation and federal habeas before section 1983, does not apply here.
