While this procedure would only have been available to four of the plaintiffs, in my view exhaustion of a remedy of this sort is not required in a case brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

Section 1983 plaintiffs need not exhaust administrative remedies when their constitutional challenge is sufficiently substantial to require a three-judge court.

King v. Smith · filed 1968-06-17

Decisions of this Court, however, establish that a plaintiff in an action brought under the Civil Rights Act, 42 U. S. C. § 1983, 28 U. S. C. § 1343, is not required to exhaust administrative remedies, where the constitutional challenge is sufficiently substantial, as here, to require the convening of a three-judge court.

Section 1983 does not require a plaintiff to exhaust available state administrative remedies before the federal court exercises jurisdiction over the action.

Soglin v. Kauffman · filed 1968-12-13

Defendants have contended that the court lacks jurisdiction over the subject matter because plaintiffs have failed to exhaust the administrative remedies made available to them by the state.

Section 1983 permits a federal action for deprivation of a fundamental constitutional right without exhausting state administrative remedies, although exhaustion is required for claims involving state-law issues or the application of institutional rules.

Griffin v. DeFelice · filed 1971-01-29

Recently, the United States Supreme Court and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals have determined that no exhaustion of remedies is necessary when a party seeks redress under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for the deprivation of a fundamental right. ... By this test the rights sought to be enforced here — whether arising under the due process clause or the equal protection clause — are fundamental. ... With respect therefore to the claims that the penalties meted out by the principal exceeded those fixed by the school board, and that the notices sent the parents of the students who were to be disciplined were inadequate, the plaintiffs must exhaust their administrative appeal before invoking the powers of the federal court. ... However, the plaintiffs need not assert before a state administrative agency their right to be treated equally.

Section 1983 does not require a plaintiff to exhaust available state remedies before bringing the claim in federal court.

Section 1983 does not require a plaintiff to exhaust state remedies before bringing a federal civil-rights action, although the court may direct the plaintiff to pursue available state remedies when doing so would eliminate the alleged constitutional problems.

Elmwood Properties, Inc. v. Murray Conzelman, the John Allan Company v. Murray Conzelman · filed 1969-11-26

It appears that the due process violations which the plaintiffs allege would be sufficiently overcome by a utilization of the available state remedies. Under Screws v. United States, 325 U.S. 91, 65 S.Ct. 1031, 89 L.Ed. 1495 (1945), an exhaustion of state remedies is not required; nevertheless, when, as here, an exhaustion of remedies will eliminate any possible constitutional problems, then that route should be followed.

Section 1983 provides a supplementary federal remedy for constitutional violations by state officials, but a plaintiff challenging action by a state criminal court must first exhaust available state post-conviction remedies before seeking federal relief.

Glen Grayson, by His Next of Friend John Grayson v. Montgomery · filed 1970-02-12

After misdemeanor convictions in a Massachusetts state court, plaintiff Grayson sought equitable relief in federal district court under the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1983. ... We conclude, therefore, that those who wish to challenge the action of a state criminal court must first exhaust available state post-conviction remedies before seeking federal relief whether in the form of a petition for habeas corpus or a suit for an injunction.

Section 1983 provides a federal statutory remedy for deprivation of a personal-liberty right without requiring the plaintiff to exhaust state remedies when the right is not dependent on a property-right infringement.

Krist v. Smith · filed 1970-02-25

Section 1983 does not require exhaustion of state administrative remedies before suit, although prior resort to local institutional procedures may be required to make the claim ripe for adjudication.

Callaway v. Kirkland · filed 1970-12-29

Though plaintiff is not required to exhaust administrative state remedies before maintaining an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983,2 the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has required what might be termed “institutional exhaustion.” Where school personnel and management *1137problems are involved, the party seeking relief in federal court must make “such prior reference to local institutional authority as may be necessary to assure that the action complained of is final within the institution in the sense that it is ripe for adjudication.” Stevenson v. Board of Education of Wheeler County, Georgia, 426 F.2d 1154, 1157 (5th Cir. 1970).

Section 1983 permits a prisoner to bring a federal civil-rights action over an administrative deprivation without first exhausting state judicial or administrative remedies, so long as the complaint alleges state action and deprivation of a constitutional right.

Edwards v. Schmidt · filed 1971-01-05

I conclude that exhaustion of state administrative procedures is not required in prisoner suits under § 1983. ... The instant case fits squarely into the extraordinary prisoner suit category. The plaintiffs do not challenge the validity of their adjudication as delinquents by the state courts. Their only challenge is to their transfer to adult penal institutions, which transfer was effected administratively by the State Department of Health and Social Services subsequent to the state court adjudication of delinquency. I conclude that exhaustion of state remedies is unnecessary and that plaintiffs may maintain this action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 provided they state a claim upon which relief may be granted.

Section 1983 plaintiffs ordinarily must exhaust available administrative remedies, but defendants cannot invoke non-exhaustion when they have short-circuited the plaintiff’s statutory procedural rights.

Beattie v. Roberts · filed 1971-01-06

Initially, we are confronted with the question of exhaustion of administrative remedies: can plaintiff bring this action, having refused to participate in the January 21 hearing? This court has recently indicated that plaintiffs who bring § 1983 actions must normally exhaust available administrative remedies. Dunham v. Crosby, 435 F.2d 1177, n. 2 (1st Cir. 1970); Drown v. Portsmouth School District, 435 F.2d 1182, n. 10 (1st Cir. 1970). We require exhaustion, in part, because we hesitate to hold members of school committees liable for tentative dismissal decisions when they are denied the opportunity to view the issue in the light of the facts and argument which the affected teachers might introduce in a formal hearing. Plaintiff argues, however, that the procedure followed by the Committee in considering his case was not the procedure required by state statute. Having recently held that § 1983 defendants who short circuit a plaintiff’s statutory procedural rights cannot assert the defense of failure to exhaust administrative remedies, Dunham v. Crosby, supra, we must consider plaintiff’s statutory argument. ... In fact, the Committee may have afforded plaintiff more procedural protection than he was entitled to under the statute. For example, a stenographic record of the January 21 hearing was kept. Under these circumstances, we see no justification for plaintiff’s refusal to follow the proceedings through to the end. ... Furthermore, plaintiff’s dual failures to exhaust his administrative remedies and to present the issue to the district court have foreclosed any analysis of the workings of the present Maine procedures, an exploration we would deem essential to any sensible balancing of the interests of tenured teachers and school committees.

Section 1983 cannot be used by a state prisoner to circumvent the exhaustion requirement applicable to habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

Regardless, the Civil Rights statute cannot be used by a state prisoner to circumvent the exhaustion requirement of 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

Payne v. Whitmore · filed 1971-04-07

Section 1983 does not require a plaintiff to exhaust available state and administrative remedies before filing in federal court.

Kronlund v. Honstein · filed 1971-05-13

Although in an action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the plaintiff is not required to exhaust his state and administrative remedies before coming into federal court, [See Monroe v. Pape, 365 U.S. 167, 81 S.Ct. 473, 5 L.Ed.2d 492, (1961) and King v. Smith, 392 U.S. 309, 88 S.Ct. 2128, 20 L.Ed.2d 1118 (1968)] this Court takes note of the fact that the plaintiff did not seek to avail herself of either of these remedies, but rather chose to come directly into the federal court to question the constitutionality of the statute.

Section 1983 provides a federal forum without requiring a plaintiff to pursue or exhaust available state judicial or administrative remedies first.

Burnett v. Herman Short, Joe H. Dickerson, and J. E. Wiggins · filed 1971-05-20

In dismissing the Section 1983 claim for “failure to exhaust state judicial remedies” the district court committed error for the law on this question is now settled beyond dispute. ... Thus, whatever vitality the exhaustion doctrine possessed prior to the decisions cited above, it is now clear that plaintiff is entitled to a federal forum in a Section 1983 suit without regard to whether state remedies were pursued.

Section 1983 does not require a plaintiff to exhaust state judicial remedies before invoking the federal remedy.

Barry v. Blue Springs R-IV School District · filed 1983-02-02

This Court has no “predisposition to favor such a proposition,” and has never required a plaintiff in a case brought under Section 1983 to exhaust state remedies as a prerequisite to maintaining such an action. Indeed such a requirement is generally not necessary in Section 1983 cases.

Section 1983 does not require a plaintiff alleging a deprivation of substantive constitutional rights to exhaust a state or territorial tort remedy before bringing a federal action.

Moorhead v. Government of the Virgin Islands · filed 1983-02-08

Torres v. Maldonado · filed 2003-03-31

In light of the foregoing, the Court does not find in the statute’s language, the legislative history, or the cases decided under the JTPA and CETA, a unequivocally manifested congressional intent to bar plaintiffs from bringing a § 1983 claim to remedy civil rights violations under the Federal constitution, without first exhausting the statute’s apparent administrative procedures.

A Section 1983 plaintiff need not exhaust D.C. employee grievance remedies when that process cannot provide a full and fair opportunity to pursue the federal claim.

Crockett v. District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department · filed 2003-09-23

Although typically an employee grievance must be filed through the OEA pursuant to the Comprehensive Merit Personnel Act (“CMPA”), here the administrative remedy would not have provided him the full relief he seeks in his claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. ... Therefore, since the administrative forum provided by the OEA could not have provided a full and fair opportunity to litigate his federal claims, Crockett was not required to exhaust his administrative remedies before bringing this federal action.

Section 1983 does not require exhaustion of administrative remedies, but an administrative decision must be final before a court can review a claim based on it.

The Town of Marana v. Aegis of Arizona, LLC. · filed 2003-11-20

In addition to the decisions of the Fourth Circuit, holding that Negro children need not comply with administrative procedures prior to instituting suit in the federal courts when the school system is operated on a racially segregated basis, the United States Supreme Court in McNeese v. Board of Education, 373 U.S. 668, 83 S.Ct. 1433, 10 L.Ed.2d 622, has put beyond debate the proposition that, in a school desegregation case, it is not necessary to exhaust state administrative remedies before seeking relief in the federal courts.

A plaintiff with a valid § 1983 claim need not exhaust state administrative remedies before suing in federal court.

Hodory v. Ohio Bureau of Employment Services · filed 1976-03-05

While clearly the plaintiff herein has not exhausted the administrative remedies which are available under Ohio law, in Gibson, the Supreme Court stated specifically that administrative remedies need not be exhausted where the federal court plaintiff states a good cause of action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. ... The plaintiff’s failure to exhaust his administrative remedies therefore does not require a dismissal of his claims.

Jemal's Fairfield Farms, LLC v. Prince George's County · filed 2004-03-26

Scruggs v. Campbell · filed 1980-09-26

Moreover, the Scruggs' citation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983, which does not require exhaustion of administrative remedies, did not entitle them to prevail in their race to the courthouse. Although no state suit was pending when the Scruggs filed their federal action, federal abstention became appropriate when the board sought review in the state court. After the state suit was brought to the attention of the district court, it properly abstained because no proceedings on the merits of the claim had been conducted in the federal court.

Hohe v. Casey · filed 1992-02-10

Thus, the first sentence in subsection (g) is inconsistent with the Supreme Court's decision in Patsy v. Board of Regents of Florida, 457 U.S. 496, 516, 102 S.Ct. 2557, 2568, 73 L.Ed.2d 172 (1982) ("exhaustion of state remedies should not be required as a prerequisite to bringing an action pursuant to § 1983"); see also Felder v. Casey, 487 U.S. 131, 148, 108 S.Ct. 2302, 2312, 101 L.Ed.2d 123 (1988) (civil rights actions "are judicially enforceable in the first instance " in the courts) (quotation omitted).

Raschke v. Blancher · filed 1986-03-06

If section 1983 actions based on alleged unconstitutional reassessments such as those in the instant case may not be maintained in Federal courts, there is even more reason for requiring and applying our own principles of administrative and judicial review which have been held to be a “plain, speedy and efficient remedy.” Rosewell v. La Salle National Bank (1981), 450 U.S. 503, 512, 67 L. Ed. 2d 464, 473, 101 S. Ct. 1221, 1228.

Section 1983 generally does not require exhaustion of administrative remedies, but Younger abstention applies when a plaintiff bypasses review of a coercive state administrative proceeding.

Moore v. City Of Asheville · filed 2005-01-25

Generally, claimants bringing suit in federal court under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 need not exhaust their administrative remedies See Patsy v. Florida Bd. of Regents, 457 U.S. 496, 102 S.Ct. 2557, 73 L.Ed.2d 172 (1982). In Ohio Civil Rights Commission, however, the Court distinguished remedial state administrative proceedings, which it had addressed in Patsy, from those that are coercive, concluding that Younger requires federal courts to abstain in favor of pending state administrative proceedings that are coercive in nature. 477 U.S. at 627 n. 2, 106 S.Ct. 2718. The administrative proceedings against Moore were unquestionably coercive, as were those in Ohio Civil Rights Commission, and the Patsy principle is therefore inapplicable.

Federal Sav. and Loan Ins. v. Director of Revenue of Illinois Department of Revenue · filed 1986-10-22

Apollo’s administrative action was based on allegations that the state deprived Apollo of rights secured by federal laws. Thus, the action could have been characterized as a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Since the Supreme Court has repeatedly insisted that state administrative remedies need not be exhausted in such actions, see, e.g., Steffel v. Thompson, 415 U.S. 452, 472-73, 94 S.Ct. 1209, 1222, 39 L.Ed.2d 505 (1974); McNeese v. Board of Education, 373 U.S. 668, 83 S.Ct. 1433, 10 L.Ed.2d 622 (1963), Apollo could have brought its claims in federal court in the first instance and thus avoided the preclusive effect of res judicata that it must now face on account of the prior administrative adjudication of the tax refund claim in the state proceedings.

Roach v. Morse · filed 2006-03-03

It has been held that 42 U.S.C. § 1983 does not require exhaustion of administrative remedies before bringing a claim under the statute and, thus, such a claim will not be dismissed on that ground. ...

Ricciotti v. Warwick School Committee · filed 1970-11-06

I find that plaintiff has alleged sufficient facts with sufficient particularity to raise some question in *1012this court’s mind concerning the futility and/or inadequacy of resorting to the arbitration remedy provided by State law. Thus I am not convinced to a legal certainty that he had an adequate State remedy, and if not, then the law is clear that he did not have to resort to that remedy, cf. Houghton, supra. Therefore the motion to dismiss is denied.

Plaintiff’s claims under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. § 701, et seq.), the Equal Protection Clause, and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 are also premature.

Christiansen v. West Branch Community School District · filed 2012-03-22

So, the district court properly dismissed Christiansen's procedural due process claims under Riggins and Winskowski to the extent they allege the denial of post-termination due process.
