IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHA’SHONEE SOLOMON,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-1277 GEB GGH P

vs.

MATTHEW C. KRAMER, Warden, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has not filed an application to proceed in

forma pauperis or paid the filing fee.

Petitioner alleges that prison officials at the Sierra Conservation Center in

Jamestown have not allowed him proper visitation. The purpose of a habeas corpus petition

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 is to challenge the validity of a conviction or sentence. The

purpose of a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is to challenge conditions of

confinement. Because petitioner is challenging a condition of confinement, the court construes

this action as a civil rights action.

The alleged violations took place in Tuolumne County, which is part of the Fresno
