ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO

REDESIGNATE ACTION

Plaintiff Gregory McClellan (“Plaintiff”), proceeding pro se, filed the instant action on

April 6, 2007. The action was designated as a prisoner civil rights action. On May 21, 2007,

Magistrate Judge Dennis L. Beck determined that the Clerk of Court had incorrectly designated

the action as prison civil rights, and he re-designated it as a regular civil rights action. On

November 15, 2007, Magistrate Judge Gary S. Austin concluded the action is not a regular civil

rights action and re-designated it as a habeas corpus action, because of allegations in the

complaint concerning Petitioner’s parole conditions and revocation.

On November 28, 2007, Magistrate Judge Gary S. Austin issued a Findings and

Recommendation that recommended the petition be dismissed without prejudice for failure to

exhaust state remedies. On January 18, 2008, the undersigned reviewed the Findings and

Recommendation in light of Petitioner’s objections and concluded that Petitioner desired to

proceed with a civil rights action, not a habeas action. Therefore, the undersigned granted

Petitioner leave to amend the complaint and instructed Petitioner that he was to state only the

specific causes of action at issue and only those facts supporting his specific claims. On February

19, 2008, Petitioner filed an amended civil rights complaint. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

1. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to re-designate this action as a prison civil

rights action and the action will proceed as such; and

2. The matter is REFERRED BACK to the Magistrate Judge for further proceedings.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
