IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY R. TURNER,

Petitioner, No. 2: 10-cv-1848 KJN P

vs.

WARDEN SALINAS, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, has filed a petition for a

writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and an application to proceed in forma

pauperis.

Petitioner alleges that he is receiving inadequate medical care at the Deuel

Vocation Institution. The purpose of a habeas corpus petition is to challenge the legality of a

conviction or sentence. The purpose of a civil rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983

is to challenge conditions of confinement. Because petitioner is challenging conditions of

confinement, this action is construed as a civil rights action. 

Petitioner has submitted a declaration that makes the showing required by 

28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Accordingly, the request to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted.

obligated to make monthly payments of twenty percent of the preceding month’s income credited

herewith.
