No. C 95-20619 RMW (PR)

ORDER DENYING

PLAINTIFF’S WRIT OF CORAM

NOBIS

(Docket No. 8)

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 on September 13, 1995. On January 3, 1996, this court dismissed plaintiff’s complaint

without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction. On August 20, 2008, plaintiff filed the underlying writ

of coram nobis. The court DENIES the writ.

Plaintiff’s writ appears to be an attempt to challenge his prior state convictions and

sentences. Because plaintiff is incarcerated and because plaintiff appears to be challenging state

convictions, a writ of coram nobis is not the approriate remedy. See Telink, Inc. v. United

States, 24 F.3d 42, 45 (9th Cir. 1994); Madigan v. Wells, 224 F.2d 577, 578 n.2 (9th Cir. 1955).

Plaintiff’s writ of coram nobis (docket no. 8) is DENIED.
