Justice White, dissenting. This case presents the issue whether exhaustion of state administrative remedies is a prerequisite to bringing an action in state court under 42 U. S. C. § 1983.

UpLaw has not yet analyzed Kramer v. Horton. The absence of a flag is not a finding that it is good law.

Justice White,

dissenting.

This case presents the issue whether exhaustion of state administrative remedies is a prerequisite to bringing an action in state court under 42 U. S. C. § 1983. In this case, the Wisconsin Supreme Court held that state administrative remedies must be exhausted before bringing an action under § 1983 in Wisconsin state courts. 128 Wis. 2d 404, 383 N. W. 2d 54 (1986). For the reasons stated in my previous dissent from denial of certiorari in Caylor v. Red Bluff, 474 U. S. 1037 (1985), I would grant certiorari.
