McGuire, 502 U.S. 62, 67-68 (1991). Nor does he allege he has exhausted state remedies by presenting any claim of constitutional error to the state's highest court, another prerequisite for federal habeas corpus relief. Picard v. Connor, 404 U.S. 270, 276 (1971). It appears that petitioner is raising challenges to the conditions of his custody, which are properly brought in a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
