IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICKEY LOUIS ALFORD aka

MORRIS DAY,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-1057 DFL DAD P

vs.

DAVINA TICHEN, et. al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, commenced this action by filing a

civil rights complaint on May 27, 2005. On June 14, 2005, the court ordered plaintiff to pay the

required filing fee of $250.00. He has not paid the filing fee but has filed a document titled “Ex

Parte Application Morris Day/R.L. Alford Release, No Parole; General Relief Plan Until

Contacts with Jet Ebony 8 Warner Brother Com Comp. Through Copyright Attorney.”

Plaintiff’s application will be denied for two reasons. First, the court is unable to

address the merits of plaintiff’s legal claims until the filing fee issue has been resolved. Second,

when a state prisoner seeks release from confinement, his sole federal remedy lies in habeas

corpus proceedings. See Preiser v. Rodriguez, 411 U.S. 475, 500 (1973).
