U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff is a mentally ill inmate with a history of attempted suicide. In his

wrongful belief concerning the nature of his conviction. In addition, plaintiff alleges that his

lockdown.” Plaintiff seeks transfer to Bravo Yard, two men cell housing at Mule Creek where he 

alleges he was successfully housed from 2007 to 2014. Plaintiff alleges that his life is in “very
