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
