UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH C. SPENCER,

Plaintiff,

v.

LAWHORN, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:01-CV-6066-OWW-SMS-P

ORDER DIRECTING THAT THIS ACTION

SHALL PROCEED AS ONE BROUGHT

PURSUANT TO 42 U.S.C. § 1983, AND

DIRECTING THE CLERK’S OFFICE TO REDESIGNATE THIS ACTION AS A “P” CASE

This action was initiated by Joseph C. Spencer (“Spencer”) on August 17, 2001, via the filing

of a petition for writ of habeas corpus. In the course of the proceedings, Spencer changed the nature

of his claims and on May 20, 2005, Spencer was directed by the Court to decide whether he wanted

to proceed on habeas claims or conditions-of-confinement claims. On June 28, 2005, Spencer

notified the Court that he wishes to proceed with conditions-of-confinement claims.

Accordingly, is it HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This action shall proceed as one brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983; and

2. The Clerk’s Office shall re-designate this case in the Court’s system from an “HC”

case to a “P” case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 4, 2005 /s/ Sandra M. Snyder
