In this action, Plaintiff contends he suffered a wrongful arrest by defendant Ruiz after defendant

18

Cook harassed him. Though he was in the Kern County jail at the time of the filing of the action, this

19

litigation does not concern the conditions of his confinement but, instead seems to challenge the

20

lawfulness of his arrest. Thus, this case should be classified as a civil action

21
22

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