Description
HALL, Circuit Judge: The plaintiff, William John Wirth, filed a pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Γ§ 1983 seeking damages from R. R. Surles, an officer of the South Carolina Highway Patrol, for allegedly taking Mr. Wirth into custody, forcibly removing him from the State of Georgia and returning him to the State of South Carolina without first having Wirth extradited. The district court, sua sponte, dismissed the complaint holding that Surles' conduct was not actionable under 42 U.S.C. Γ§ 1983. We disagree, and we reverse and remand this case for further proceedings.
