What is Riordan v. Martin: Civil Rights Appeal Dismissed about?

William Riordan filed a civil rights complaint against a Massachusetts Superior Court clerk for refusing to accept his pro se motions while he awaited appointment of counsel following his guilty plea. The district court dismissed the complaint. The appeals court affirms the dismissal, finding (1) Riordan failed to allege the state remedies were inadequate, as Massachusetts law provides motions and mandamus as remedies; and (2) lower federal courts cannot sit in review of state court proceedings.
