OPINION AND ORDER
GARTH, District Judge:
The plaintiffs, Delbert L. and James R. Wood, have filed a civil action for damages against the defendants, Micheál Blacker and James C. Haggerty. The complaint alleges that defendants, representatives of the New Jersey Public De fender, inadequately and negligently represented plaintiffs in earlier state criminal proceedings in which the plaintiffs pleaded guilty and were sentenced. Plaintiffs in seeking damages invoke the jurisdiction of this Court under 42 U.S. C. § 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 1343(3). Defendants have moved to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaint.
