IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-20145

Summary Calendar

WILLIS FLOYD WILEY,

Plaintiff-Appellant

v.

WILLIAM STEPHENS, DIRECTOR, TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL 

JUSTICE, CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS DIVISION,

Defendant-Appellee

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 4:15-CV-96

Before WIENER, HIGGINSON, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Plaintiff-Appellant Willis Floyd Wiley filed a civil right complaint under 

42 U.S.C § 1983 asserting that he was held in prison beyond his release date. 

The district court dismissed Wiley’s claim as barred under Heck v. Humphrey,

512 U.S. 477, 487 (1994), because Wiley had not shown that his extended 

custody was invalid. The district court cited Randell v. Johnson, 227 F.3d 300, 

 

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not 

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH 

CIR. R. 47.5.4.
