1Opinion of the Court
HENLEY, Senior Circuit Judge:
Appellant Morgan J. Gramegna, an Alabama prisoner, filed this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that delays by appellees (prison officials and the Alabama Department of Corrections) in delivering his mail caused him to lose his right to appeal in a state coram nobis proceeding. Gramegna appears to be seeking both damages and injunctive relief. The district court concluded that the individual defendants’ actions did not cause Gramegna to lose his right to appeal and that the Department of Corrections was immune from suit. We vacate and remand.
Gramegna pleaded guilty…
