ALFRED J. ANDERSON,

Petitioner,

v.

SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY JAIL, et al.,

Respondent.

Case No. 15-cv-04317-JD 

ORDER DISMISSING PETITION 

AND DENYING CERTIFICATE 

OF APPEALABILITY

Alfred Anderson, a detainee, filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 2254. In the original petition, petitioner described how his probation was revoked in 

June or July 2015. His claims were not entirely clear but he appeared to allege that his appointed 

counsel was ineffective and that there was government misconduct underlying the probation 

revocation. However, it did not appear that petitioner had exhausted these claims. In the initial 

review order on November 17, 2015, the Court dismissed the petition with leave to amend to 

address these deficiencies. 

Petitioner filed an amended petition on April 25, 2016, but it does not address the 

exhaustion issue and also seeks monetary relief against a jail official for an assault. The petition is 

dismissed without prejudice and may be re-filed once the claims have been exhausted. If 

petitioner seeks monetary relief concerning the conditions of his confinement he may file a civil 

rights complaint.1

Petitioner already proceeds with a civil rights complaint concerning the conditions of 

confinement in Case No. 15-cv-03737-JD.

The petition is DISMISSED for the reasons set forth above. Because reasonable jurists 

would not find the result here debatable, a certificate of appealability (“COA”) is DENIED. See 

Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484-85 (2000) (standard for COA).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 23, 2016
