Description
COMPLAINT BY A PRISONER UNDER THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT, 42 U.S.C. § 1983. You may file a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to challenge federal constitutional or statutory violations by state actors which affect the conditions of your confinement. A § 1983 action may not be used to challenge the length of your sentence or the validity of your conviction. Such claims must be addressed in a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, on the forms provided by the clerk. If you wish to challenge a state court sentence or conviction, ask for the packet titled Instructions for Filing a Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in State Custody under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. www.FormsWorkflow.com
