IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSE CRUZ ANTUNA-MORAN,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-1318 WBS GGH P

vs.

KUMA DEBOO, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and an application to proceed in forma pauperis.

Petitioner alleges that he received inadequate medical care. The purpose of a

petition for writ of habeas corpus is to challenge the validity of a sentence or conviction. A

federal petitioner seeking to challenge conditions of confinement, like petitioner, must file a

Bivens action. See Bivens v. Six Unknown Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This action is construed as a Bivens action;

2. The petition is dismissed with thirty days to file a complaint form for a Bivens

action;
