A federal judge has dismissed a civil rights lawsuit filed by a man whose 1981 conviction for killing a UW-Madison student was overturned in 2009 because the lawsuit does not identify the people or agencies he alleged violated his rights. U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb wrote in a decision last week that Ralph Armstrong, who was convicted of murder for the 1980 rape and strangulation of Charise Kamps, must follow federal rules of procedure when deciding who can be sued for the alleged rights violations.
