Overview: Dismissal of a prisoner's Bivens action pursuant to 28 U.S.C.S. § 1915A for failure to state a claim on which relief could be granted was affirmed because, to the extent the prisoner sought monetary damages, success on the merits of the case would necessarily imply the invalidity of his criminal conviction, making Heck v. Humphrey applicable.
