No. 03-3173 William Rogers, Jr. Appellant, v. Jason Adams, Officer, #1195, sued in individual and official capacities; Chad Staley, Officer, #1219, sued in individual and official capacities; Appellees, Amy Jacobsen, sued in individual and official capacities; John Colborn, sued in individual and official capacities, Defendants.

We agree with the district court that Rogers§ 1983 claims despite fact that habeas relief was time-barred), cert. denied,
