UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LARRY McCORVEY,

Plaintiff,

v.

ROBERT H. OLIVER, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:05-CV-01534-AWI-SMS-P

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION, WITH

PREJUDICE

(Doc. 1)

On December 1, 2005, Plaintiff Larry McCorvey, an inmate housed at the Fresno County Jail,

filed a complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 8, 2005, Plaintiff filed an amended

complaint. Plaintiff’s suit stems from the resolution of his criminal case and the sentencing

conditions he seeks to have imposed. 

Plaintiff has not set forth any facts that give rise to a claim for relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

In addition, any suit brought by plaintiff under section 1983 relating to his conviction or sentence

is barred until such time as plaintiff’s “conviction or sentence has been reversed on direct appeal,

expunged by executive order, declared invalid by a state tribunal authorized to make such

determination, or called into question by a federal court’s issuance of a writ of habeas corpus, 28

U.S.C. § 2254.” Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 487-88 (1994). “A claim . . . bearing that

relationship to a conviction or sentence that has not been so invalidated is not cognizable under §

1983.” Id. at 488. 

In addition, federal habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 is also not available.

A petition for writ of habeas corpus shall not be granted unless the petitioner has “exhausted the

remedies available in the courts of the State.” 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b)(1). Here, there is no indication

Plaintiff has addressed his claims to the California state courts.

Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED, with prejudice, for failure to state a claim upon

which relief may be granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
