United States District Court

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE

Defendant.

Plaintiff, an inmate in the Alameda County Jail, filed this pro se civil rights action
16
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983 in which he seeks immediate release from custody. The grounds for
17
doing so are not altogether clear. In any event, however, a petition for a writ of habeas corpus,
18
not a civil rights complaint, is the “exclusive remedy” for the prisoner who seeks “immediate or
19
speedier release” from confinement. Skinner v. Switzer, 131 S. Ct. 1289, 1293 (2011).
20
Consequently, the complaint is DISMISSED without prejudice to plaintiff filing his claims in a
21
petition for a writ of habeas corpus after all available state court remedies have been exhausted.
22
The clerk shall enter judgment and close the file.
23
IT IS SO ORDERED.
