action as a general civil case concerning civil rights. Upon

further review of the Court, it has been determined that the

present action involves a prisoner litigating the

conditions of his confinement at a California state prison.

Therefore, the Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to:

1. Change the designation of the present case to reflect that of

a prisoner civil rights action;

2. Randomly assign new judges to the case; and

3. Send a notice of the new case number to all parties in this

action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
