Description
This Section 1983 case calls upon us to resolve questions surrounding the validity of a release-dismissal agreement entered into by Plaintiff Albert Burke as part of his plea agreement in a state criminal proceeding, and the burdens of proof as to the validity of that release as a bar to a subsequent federal civil rights action. The District Court determined that Plaintiffs Section 1983 civil rights action was barred in its entirety by the release given by Burke. For the reasons stated below, we affirm the District Courts decision.
