Williams v. Stewart

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Lee Robert Williams appeals the district court’s order dismissing as frivolous his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action. The district court’s opinion concludes that Williams “has simply constructed a complaint and memorandum which includes page after page of legal terminology without any support of alleged facts, dates, and/or injury.” We have carefully reviewed the record and find that the factual allegations contained in paragraph (E) of the memorandum/affidavit supporting Williams’s complaint meet the minimum factual requirement of a § 1983 claim.

Accordingly, we vacate the district court’s order and remand for further proceedings. * We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

VACATED AND REMANDED

*

By this disposition, we indicate no view of the merits of Williams’s complaint or the nature of the proceedings that may be appropriate on remand.
