State v. Gehrett

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the statute of limitations for a criminal defendant’s § 1983 claim did not begin to run until the underlying criminal proceedings had concluded in his favor
• holding that, where an allegedly illegal search produced evidence used to obtain a conviction, the convicted cannot bring a § 1983 claim challenging the search until the conviction is overturned
• explicitly rejecting suggestion that § 1983 illegal search claims accrue at the time of injury, since such a rule would “misdirect the criminal defendant” from focusing on “mounting a viable defense to the charges against him”
• abrogated by Wallace, 549 U.S. 384
