Fuller v. Garrett
Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 00-50307 Conference Calendar
GEORGE V. FULLER,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
GERALD GARRETT,
Defendant-Appellee.
--------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. A-00-CV-120-SS --------------------- October 17, 2000
Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
George V. Fuller, Texas prisoner # 773464, appeals the
district court’s dismissal of his
42 U.S.C. § 1983complaint.
Fuller argues that he was sentenced unconstitutionally to serve
an additional one year and two months of imprisonment after being
reincarcerated for violating his parole. He argues that this
violated his due process rights and was a breach of his plea
agreement. The district court dismissed Fuller’s complaint as
frivolous under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(e).
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. No. 00-50307 -2-
We review the district court’s dismissal of a complaint as
frivolous under § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) for abuse of discretion.
Harper v. Showers,
174 F.3d 716, 718 & n.3 (5th Cir. 1999).
Fuller is challenging the fact or duration of his confinement.
Therefore, his suit is barred by Heck v. Humphrey,
512 U.S. 477, 486-87(1994), and the district court did not abuse its
discretion in dismissing his complaint as frivolous.
AFFIRMED.
