UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WALTER SHANE LANGSTON,

Petitioner,

v.

GARY SWARTHOUT,

Respondent.

No. 2:12-cv-1633 CKD P

ORDER

On June 19, 2014, plaintiff filed a motion asking that the court order officials at the 

California Medical Facility to stop providing medical treatment to petitioner and that they house 

petitioner in general population. This is not a proper request in an action filed under 28 U.S.C. § 

2254 where the only relevant issues are the fact of or the duration of a petitioner’s confinement. 

See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(a). If petitioner wishes to challenge some condition of his confinement, he 

should initiate an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that 

petitioner’s “motion for injunctive relief” (ECF No. 55) is denied.

Dated: October 2, 2014
