United States District Court
No. C 14-0860 WHA (PR)
SANTA RITA JAIL,
Defendant.

14
Plaintiff, an inmate in the Alameda County Jail, filed this pro se civil rights action
15
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983 in which he seeks immediate release from custody. He claims that
16
he “filed a federal indictment” and that he had an “authorized release time” but was not released
17
from jail. A petition for a writ of habeas corpus, not a civil rights complaint, is the “exclusive
18
remedy” for the prisoner who seeks “immediate or speedier release” from confinement. Skinner
19
v. Switzer, 131 S. Ct. 1289, 1293 (2011). Consequently, the complaint is DISMISSED without
20
prejudice to plaintiff filing his claims in a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, after he has
21
exhausted his claims through the state courts.
22
The clerk shall enter judgment and close the file.
23
IT IS SO ORDERED.
