Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided February 16, 1977No. 76-1601PublishedCited by 81 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
GOLDBERG, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiff filed this suit against the United States and various government officials, seeking to expunge all records of his earlier perjury conviction. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint and a supporting memorandum. Before the court ruled on the motion, plaintiff filed his own motion to dismiss. The motions differed in that plaintiff sought dismissal without prejudice, whereas defendants sought an adjudication on the merits. The court granted defendants’ motion, writing an opinion in support of its view that plaintiff’s lawsuit was meritless.
