479 U.S. 918; 107 S. Ct. 324; 93 L. Ed. 2d 296; 55 U.S.L.W. 3276; 1986 U.S. LEXIS 4422 (United States Reports)

Opinion of the Court

Sup. Ct. Wis. Certiorari denied.

Dissenting Opinion

Justice White,

dissenting.

This case presents the issue whether exhaustion of state administrative remedies is a prerequisite to bringing an action in state court under 42 U. S. C. § 1983. In this case, the Wisconsin Supreme Court held that state administrative remedies must be exhausted before bringing an action under § 1983 in Wisconsin state courts. 128 Wis. 2d 404, 383 N. W. 2d 54 (1986). For the reasons stated in my previous dissent from denial of certiorari in Caylor v. Red Bluff, 474 U. S. 1037 (1985), I would grant certiorari.
