    This document summarizes a United States Court of Appeals case involving plaintiff Torrey Lamont Love filing a §1983 complaint against several state police officers alleging constitutional violations from a traffic stop that resulted in his arrest and criminal charges. The district court dismissed Love's complaint without prejudice finding that Heck v. Humphrey barred his claims since his conviction had not been invalidated. However, the appeals court found that Love was not in fact convicted of the charges from the traffic stop, which were dismissed. The appeals court therefore vacated the district court's dismissal and remanded the case back to be considered on its merits.
