He filed this action, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, in forma pauperis (IFP) against St. Tammany Parish and its assistant district attorneys, asserting that the bill of information on which he was convicted was defective in that one of the prior DWI convictions alleged in the bill was not in fact a conviction.
