• holding that Heck did not bar a plaintiff who was convicted and fined — but not imprisoned — from alleging selective prosecution under § 1983 because he was never in custody and thus could not seek habeas relief
• “Under the doctrine of claim preclusion, a final judgment on the merits of an action precludes the parties or their privies from relitigating issues that were or could have been raised in that action.” (quotation marks omitted)
