Kinney v. Westerly Hospital Healthcare

How courts have described this case

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

• applying Heck v. Humphrey to preclude prisoner’s claim against police officers and prosecutors for unreasonable search and seizure and fabrication of evidence where claims would necessarily imply invalidity of convictions that had not been reversed or vacated on appeal
• “[A]n ineffectiveness claim is not actionable in a proceeding brought under § 1983.” (quotations and alterations omitted)
• 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) dismissal was appropriate under Heck because success on plaintiff’s claims against Nassau County police officers and prosecutors “would necessarily invalidate plaintiff’s convictions on the counts that had not been reversed or vacated.”
