In Re Paul Nagy

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that an inmate-plaintiff’s § 1361 complaint was not subject to the PLRA because it was directed to a judge conducting a criminal trial
• reasoning that prisoners should not be able to avoid § 1915(g) simply by bringing 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights claims under the guise of seeking mandamus
• holding that the application of the PLRA to man- damus petitions depends on the nature of the relief sought— only if the prisoner’s mandamus claim is analogous to the typ- ical suits brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaining about prison conditions does the PLRA apply
• reasoning that prisoners should not be able to avoid § 1915(g) USCA11 Case: 21-13542 Document: 34-1 Date Filed: 03/01/2023 Page: 5 of 6 21-13542 Opinion of the Court 5 simply by bringing 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights claims under the guise of seeking mandamus
• “[T]he PLRA requirements apply to those extraordinary writs that seek relief analogous to civil complaints under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, but not to writs directed at judges conducting criminal trials.” (emphasis added)
• PLRA applies to mandamus petitions that seek relief analogous to civil rights complaints
