9th Cir.;
09-55763

The court of appeals reversed a district court judgment of dismissal and remanded the action for further proceedings. The court held that a plaintiff’s federal civil rights suit against a county sheriff was not (I)Heck(I)-barred where the plaintiff’s initial criminal conviction was reversed due to a deputy’s (I)Miranda(I) violation, and the plaintiff’s later lawful conviction arose from a second trial that did not rely on the illegally obtained evidence.
