MACK A. WILSON, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT, v. THE FLORIDA BOARD OF REGENTS; FLORIDA A M UNIVERSITY, WALTER L. JOHNSON; CHARLES C. KIDD, GERTRUDE SIMMONS WALTER L. SMITH, DEFENDANTS-APPELLEES.

PER CURIAM:

The district court, relying on our decision in Patsy v. Florida International University, 634 F.2d 900 (5th Cir. 1981), dismissed appellant's complaint because it did not sufficiently allege exhaustion or inadequacy of administrative remedies. Subsequently, the United States Supreme Court, reversing our decision in Patsy, held that exhaustion of state administrative remedies is not a pre-requisite to an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Patsy v. Board of Regents of the State of Florida, ___ U.S. ___, 102 S.Ct. 2557, 73 L.Ed.2d 172 (1982). In light of the Supreme Court's ruling, we reverse the judgment of the district court and remand for further proceedings.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.
