Deputy v. Donophan

Summary

The Court affirmed dismissal of Deputy’s civil complaint as legally frivolous. It held that claims seeking to overturn criminal convictions or obtain release must be pursued through the exclusive postconviction remedy, and that damages claims based on an allegedly wrongful prosecution were frivolous because the convictions remained legally valid. The Court also imposed a prefiling restriction based on Deputy’s repeated, untimely, and frivolous filings.
