UNITED
STATES COURT OF APPEALS
TENTH CIRCUIT
ORDER AND JUDGMENT(*)
Before PORFILIO, KELLY, and HENRY,
Circuit Judges.(**)
Plaintiff-Appellant Henry Lee McCone appeals from the district court's
dismissal, without prejudice, of his 42 U.S.C. §1983 claim seeking damages and
alleging violation of his constitutional rights by state officers during proceedings
to revoke his parole. Our jurisdiction arises under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we
affirm. The district court was correct in determining that Heck v. Humphrey, 512
U.S. 477 (1994), bars the present action absent a determination that the parole
revocation was invalid. See White v. Gittens, 121 F.3d 803, 807 (1st Cir.
1997);
Crow v. Penry, 102 F.3d 1086, 1087 (10th Cir. 1996). Likewise, the district
court was correct in holding that, even if the complaint was construed as a habeas
corpus petition, Mr. McCone had failed to exhaust state court remedies. See 28
U.S.C. § 2254(b)(1)(A); see also Demarest v. Price, 130 F.3d 922, 932
(10th Cir.
1997).
AFFIRMED.

Paul J. Kelly, Jr.
Circuit Judge

*. This order and judgment is not binding
precedent, except under the
doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. This court
generally disfavors the citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order
and judgment may be cited under the terms and conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3.
**. After examining the briefs and the
appellate record, this three-judge
panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not be of material
assistance in the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th
Cir. R. 34.1.9. The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.
