How courts have described this case

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

• since the “heart” of a habeas corpus petition seeks release from confinement, petitioner’s challenge to the manner by which prison officials reached their decision, rather than the result to exclude him from a home furlough program stated a claim under Section 1983
• where district court had erroneously treated prisoner’s challenge to conditions of confinement as habeas petition and dismissed without prejudice for failure to exhaust, appellate court exer- cised jurisdiction, converted action to § 1983 action, and re- versed and remanded
