16

Plaintiff Eli Hernandez (“Plaintiff”) is currently incarcerated at the California Correctional

17

Institution in Taft, California. (Doc. 1). Plaintiff initiated this action by filing a complaint against

18

Richard Huber, Margarita Saiza, and John Coronado for actions related to administration of the Trust

19

Estate of Jessie Marie MacCrone. (See id. at 3-4.) The action was originally designated as a prisoner

20

case pursuant to the Civil Rights Act, as set forth in 42 U.S.C. § 1983. However, because Plaintiff is

21

not challenging the conditions of his confinement, this case should not be classified as a prisoner’s civil

22

rights action. Rather, the matter is a civil action subject to Local Rule 301 and Fed. R. Civ. P. 73.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to reclassify
this matter as a general civil action.
