LEE COUNTY ADULT JAIL, ET AL. DEFENDANTS
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION [20 in Companion Case] FOR RELEASE FROM THE LEE COUNTY JAIL This matter comes before the court on the motion [20 in Companion Case] by the plaintiff to be released from the Lee County Jail. In the Fifth Circuit, habeas corpus petitions are the “exclusive remedy for a state prisoner who challenges the fact or duration of his confinement and seeks immediate or speedier release, even though such a claim may come within the literal terms of § 1983.” Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 481, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994); see also Edge v. Stalder, 240 F.3d 1074 (5th Cir. 2000). For this reason, the plaintiff’s request [20 in Companion Case] for release from incarceration is DENIED. SO ORDERED, this, the 8th day of February, 2022.
/s/ Roy Percy UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
