UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDWARD RONJE, 

Plaintiff,

v.

KING, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-01589-LJO-JLT (PC)

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE AS BARRED BY Heck v. Humphrey, 

512 U.S. 477, 478-88 (1994)

(Doc. 23)

 Plaintiff, Edward Ronje, is a civil detainee who is currently proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action 

on October 10, 2014. (Doc. 1.) Upon initial review, it was discovered that Plaintiff was 

challenging the assessment protocol which resulted in his civil detention. Thus, the action was

dismissed as barred by Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 487-88 (1994). (Doc. 14.) Plaintiff 

appealed and the Ninth Circuit affirmed in part and vacated and remanded for dismissal to be 

entered without prejudice. (Docs. 23, 24.) 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this case is dismissed without prejudice as 

barred by Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 487-88 (1994).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
