UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
CARLOS ESCAMILLA,
Petitioner,
CASE NO. 05-CV-1936-H
(BLM)
ORDER DENYING LEAVE
TO AMEND HABEAS
PETITION TO BRING 42
U.S.C. § 1983 CLAIMS
vs.
GEORGE GIURBINO, Warden,
Respondent.
Petitioner Carlos Escamilla, proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of habeas
corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 on October 11, 2005. (Doc. No. 1.) In his
petition, he challenged the results of a prison disciplinary proceeding. Respondent has
answered the petition and Petitioner has filed a traverse. (Doc. Nos. 9 & 12.) On
October 27, 2006, the Court received an amended complaint from Petitioner in which
he seeks to transform his habeas petition into a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. §
1983. The Court has denied Petitioner’s habeas corpus petition, however, and directed
the Clerk of the Court to close the case. Accordingly, should Petitioner wish to file a
complaint alleging violations of 42 U.S.C. § 1983, he must file a new civil case and
submit the required filing fee or submit a proper request to proceed in forma pauperis.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: November 7, 2006
