UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MUHAREM KURBEGOVICH, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

UNKNOWN, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:15-cv-0876 GGH P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. In his 

application, petitioner states that his “sentence has been extralegally extended from 7-life to 77-

life, due to ‘Patriot Act.’” Yet he also claims that he has been “held incommunicado for all mail,” 

and is unable to communicate with attorneys. He states that he has “no way of determining 

whether his numerous letters to Sacramento attorneys is stol[]en here or in Sacramento.” (ECF 

No. 1 at 4-5 .) Similar claims were previously raised by petitioner in a habeas corpus petition 

filed in the Fresno Division of the Eastern District. See Kurbegovich v. Unknown Politicians, 

No. 1:14-cv-1202 LJO SKO HC. (ECF No. 1 at 56-57.) Petitioner appears to challenge the 

conditions of his confinement, and petitioner is incarcerated at Corcoran State Prison in Kings 

County which is part of the Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern 

District of California. See Local Rule 120(d).
