October 23, 1996
Before JONES, DeMOSS and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Edward Allen Moore, #305768, filed a civil rights action
under 42 USC § 1983 relating to criminal charges that had been
lodged against him by officials in St. Louis, Missouri pursuant
to the Interstate Agreement on Detainers (IAD). Moore asserts
that the district court erred in dismissing his complaint under
Heck v. Humphrey, 114 S. Ct. 2364 (1994). It is plain that
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule
47.5.4.
No. 96-40305

Moore's claims are claims for unlawful actions that could render
any conviction in Missouri invalid. Contrary to Moore’s
reasoning, Heck applies to his claims and they are not yet ripe.
The district court did not err in its dismissal of this
complaint.
AFFIRMED.
