Respondents.

Petitioner filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus on May 11, 2018 in the Northern
20
District of California District Court. ECF No. 1. That court transferred the matter to this district
21
on May 21, 2018. ECF No. 3. On June 12, 2018 this court issued an Order dismissing the
22
petition and directing the petitioner to file an amended complaint seeking relief under 42 U.S.C.
23
section 1983 insofar as his petition did not seek release from prison, but rather sought
24
reinstatement of his right to conjugal visits while incarcerated, or to voluntarily dismiss that
25
petition.1 ECF No. 6. The Order further warned petitioner that a failure to obey the order could

That Order also directed petitioner either to apply for in forma pauperis status or pay the filing
fee required by the court. In fact, he did pay a filing fee at the time he filed in the Northern
District so that element of the Order is now inoperative.

result in dismissal of his case. Petitioner filed objections to the Order on July 15, 2018. ECF No.
2
7.2 In essence petitioner has refused to amend his pleading to seek relief under 42 U.S.C. section
3
1983, instead rearguing his position that the claim he has raised is properly a matter for habeas
4
corpus relief. This court disagrees.
5
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
6
The Clerk of the Court shall randomly assign this matter to a district court judge.
7
IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that:
8
1.
The petition be DISMISSED;
9
2.
No certificate of appealability should be issued;
10
3.
The Clerk of the Court should close this case.
11
These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge
12
assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within thirty (30) days
13
after being served with these findings and recommendations, petitioner may file written
14
objections with the court. Such a document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate
15
Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” The petitioner is advised that failure to file objections
16
within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Martinez v.
