   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2468
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Kelly and Erickson, Circuit Judges] 
   Prisoner case - Prisoner civil rights. In action alleging the Iowa 
   Department of Corrections administration of its Sex Offender Treatment 
   Program violated plaintiffs' constitutional rights to due process, equal 
   protection and necessary medical care, the district court erred in 
   concluding that the federal claims must be dismissed without prejudice 
   under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1997e(a) because plaintiffs had not exhausted their 
   available post-conviction remedies under Belk v. State, 905 N.W.2d 185, 
   191 (Iowa 2017); this issue must be remanded as it is not clear on this 
   record what administrative remedies might be available to the plaintiffs; 
   plaintiffs' complaint that the defendants' unconstitutional conduct 
   deprived them of their statutory rights to accrue good-time credit was 
   Heck-barred; because the district court dismissed the entire matter 
   without prejudice, it had not considered plaintiffs' necessary medical 
   care claims and claims for prospective injunctive relief to remedy 
   allegedly unconstitutional procedures in administering the program, and 
   those claims should be considered on remand.
