Case No.: 1:16-cv-00850-SAB (PC)
ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO REDESIGNATE THIS ACTION AS A REGULAR
CIVIL RIGHTS ACTION

Plaintiff Casey J. Watkins is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

16

Plaintiff is a state prisoner incarcerated at California City Correctional Facility. Plaintiff

17

utilized the section 1983 complaint form for a civil rights action filed by incarcerated individuals.

18

However, upon review of the complaint, Plaintiff is raising a civil rights challenge as to the use of

19

force in effectuating his arrest prior to incarceration rather than conditions of his confinement.

20

Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is directed to change the administrative designation of this action as a

21

regular civil action.
