No. 2:16-cv-2304 KJM KJN P

Petitioner,
v.

ORDER

COLUSA COUNTY COURT SYSTEM, et
al.,
Respondents.

17
18

This petition for writ of habeas corpus was dismissed on January 10, 2017. On February

19

21, 2017, petitioner filed a document entitled “complaint,” also against the Colusa County Court

20

System, judges, district attorney, and public defender, in which he discusses colleges in England,

21

and how much money petitioner has lost due to defendants’ actions, claiming they failed in their

22

jobs under color of the law and the California Bar code of ethics. (ECF No. 17.) The true nature

23

of petitioner’s recent filing is unclear, but it is clear what it is not: it is not a petition for writ of

24

habeas corpus, and, as presently written, is not a cognizable civil rights complaint. In the October

25

12, 2016, petitioner was informed that a civil rights action is the proper mechanism for a prisoner

26

seeking to challenge the conditions of his confinement. See 42 U.S.C. § 1983; Badea v. Cox, 931

27

F.2d 573, 574 (9th Cir. 1991). (See ECF No. 4 at 3 n.3.) Therefore, petitioner’s filing is retained in

28

the court docket and disregarded. If petitioner wishes to file a civil rights complaint, he must do
1

1

so by filing a complaint in a new action and should refrain from including the instant case number

2

on such filing.

3

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s February 21, 2017 filing (ECF

4

No. 17) is retained in the court docket and disregarded.
