LARRY F. DURDEN,
Petitioner,

No. CIV S-11-2866 GGH P
vs.
13

U.S.D.A. REGION #5, et al.,
15
Respondents.
ORDER
/
16
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has purportedly filed an application
17
18
for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, though petitioner has not filed an
19
application to proceed in forma pauperis. However, after reviewing the filing, it is not clear
20
what petitioner has filed. The filing is vague, rambling and incoherent and the named
21
defendants, El Dorado National Forest, Lake Tahoe Basin Management, and a fire resource
22
officer are not the proper respondents for a habeas petition.
23
This action will be reclassified as a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
24
§ 1983 and plaintiff will be given an opportunity to file an application to proceed in forma
25
pauperis.
