(HC) Nguon v Dickinson Doc. 11 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 HUNG DUONG NGUON, Petitioner, 11 vs. 12 13 No. CIV S-09-2975 GEB KJM P KATHLEEN L. DICKINSON, Respondent. 14 ORDER / 15 Petitioner is a California prisoner proceeding with an application for writ of 16 17 habeas corpus under 28. U.S.C. § 2254. Since petitioner may be entitled to relief if the claimed 18 violation of Constitutional rights in claim one is proved, respondent will be directed to file a 19 response to claim one. As for claims two, three and four, petitioner fails to state a claim upon 20 which habeas relief can be granted because he challenges conditions of confinement rather than 21 the legality or length of his custody. Badea v. Cox, 931 F.2d 573, 574 (9th Cir. 1991). 22 Respondent need not respond to claims two, three and four. If petitioner wishes to pursue those 23 claims further, he may wish to consider commencing a separate action for violation of civil 24 rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. See Badea, 931 F.2d at 574. 25 ///// 26 ///// 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 2 1. The findings and recommendations issued July 30, 2010, are vacated. 3 2.
