Federal Civil Rights Complaint (42 USC 1983), including requests for damages, injunction, extraordinary writs, and declaratory relief out of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

Declaratory relief refers to a judgment of a court which determines the rights of parties without ordering anything be done or awarding damages. By seeking a declaratory judgment, the party making the request is seeking for an official declaration of the status of a matter in controversy.

The declaratory judgment is generally considered a statutory remedy and not an equitable remedy in the United States, and is thus not subject to equitable requirements, though there are analogies that can be found in the remedies granted by courts of equity.
