IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GEORGE HAMILTON,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-1761 DFL GGH P

vs.

J. S. WOODFORD,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

On October 24, 2005, petitioner filed a request for reconsideration of the

magistrate judge’s order filed October 6, 2005, dismissing petitioner’s “ex parte emergency

petition for writ of habeas corpus.” The magistrate judge considered that petitioner challenged

the conditions of confinement, and, therefore, that the proper form of action was by a civil rights

complaint. Leave to amend was granted. Pursuant to E.D. Local Rule 72-303(f), a magistrate

judge’s orders shall be upheld unless “clearly erroneous or contrary to law.” Upon review of the

entire file, the court finds that it does not appear that the magistrate judge’s ruling was clearly

erroneous or contrary to law.

 Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, upon reconsideration, the order of the

magistrate judge filed October 6, 2005, is affirmed.
