View this case - free  

Overview: Because it was not clear on the face of the complaint whether Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 60-515(a)'s or 60-523(a)'s limitations period applied and 28 U.S.C.S. § 1915 could not serve as a fact finding process, the district court erred in dismissing as time-barred a prisoner's § 1983 complaint against state defendants for childhood sexual abuse.

View this case - free  

Overview: Appellate court ordered the jurisdictional dismissal of an inmate's 28 U.S.C.S. § 2241 claim, which was not filed in the district where he was confined at the time of filing, rather than transferring it because there was no merit to an equal protection claim that his deportable alien status subjected him to a more severe sentence than a citizen.
