IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NEIL CORROW,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-1517 GEB DAD P

vs.

BUREAU OF PRISONS,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

2241. In his petition, petitioner challenges a parole release plan which would require him to

reside in a halfway house away from the Los Angeles area. Petitioner argues that such restriction

on his place of residence would subject him to cruel and unusual punishment. Petitioner also

contends that the Bureau of Prison has disregarded his medical needs, that parole agents have

engaged in misconduct and that he is being subjected to retaliation.

On December 27, 2005, petitioner filed a document styled, “Memorandum in

Support of Habeas Corpus, Order For Immediate Release From Imprisonment And Judicial

Review Of Administrative Record.” Although petitioner’s arguments set forth in that document

are confusing and disjointed, it appears that his custody status may have changed since his

petition was filed and that petitioner is now arguing that his incarceration is based on an allegedly

“void judgment.” (Mem. at 2.) 

Because it is not clear whether petitioner was released on parole and subsequently

re-incarcerated, whether the parole release plan he refers to in his petition was rescinded, or

whether some other events have brought about a change in petitioner’s custody status, the court

will order petitioner to file a response. Petitioner must clarify whether he is still seeking to

challenge the location of his required residence under a parole release plan. Petitioner is also

advised that this action concerns only the claims raised in his habeas petition. If petitioner seeks

to challenge a criminal judgment of conviction or a parole revocation which occurred after his

petition in this case was filed, he must file a new habeas action to challenge those convictions or

judgments.

In addition, petitioner has not filed an in forma pauperis affidavit or paid the

required filing fee ($5.00). See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a); 1915(a). Petitioner will be provided the

opportunity to either submit the appropriate affidavit in support of a request to proceed in forma

pauperis or submit the appropriate filing fee.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Within thirty days from the date of this order, petitioner shall file a response to

this order which clarifies his current custody status, the dates and locations of his residences

following his release, the dates and circumstances of any term of incarceration or criminal

judgments following the filing of his habeas petition, and whether he intends to continue his

challenge of the parole release plan;

2. Petitioner shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, an

affidavit in support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee;

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send petitioner a copy of the in forma

pauperis form used by this district; and
