Frank M. Neff, Plaintiff Appellant, v. Karen Warner; the Chesapeake Center, Defendants Appellees, 30 F.3d 130 (4th Cir. 1994)

Frank M. Neff appeals from the district court's order dismissing, without prejudice, his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. Because granting Neff relief on his claim would necessarily affect the length or duration of his confinement, the district court properly determined that the claim was subject to the exhaustion requirement of 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b) (1988); see also Preiser v. Rodriguez, 411 U.S. 475 (1973); Todd v. Baskerville, 712 F.2d 70 (4th Cir. 1983). Therefore, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Neff v. Warner, No. CA-94-657-MJG (D. Md. Mar. 28, 1994). 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.

AFFIRMED
