UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OAKLAND DIVISION

MICHAEL HOLLINS,

Petitioner,

 vs.

GREG MUNKS, 

Respondent. /

No. C 13-5087 PJH (PR)

ORDER DISMISSING CASE

AND DENYING CERTIFICATE

OF APPEALABILITY 

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a pretrial detainee incarcerated at Maguire

Correctional Facility.1 Petitioner is in jail awaiting trial for a violation of California Penal

Code § 485, theft of lost property. The court set forth the relevant legal background and

ordered petitioner to show cause why this case should not be dismissed pursuant to

Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37, 43-54 (1971). Petitioner has filed a response.

Petitioner states that he does not want the court to intervene with his criminal

proceeding, rather he seeks the court to provide injunctive relief regarding his treatment by

jail officials. A habeas petition is not the proper manner to address this issue, therefore this

case will be dismissed and petitioner’s claims can be addressed in his other civil rights

actions pending in this court.

CONCLUSION 

The petition is DISMISSED for the reasons set out above. Because reasonable

jurists would not find the result here debatable, a certificate of appealability (“COA”) is

DENIED. See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484-85 (2000) (standard for COA). The
