IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

JAMES EDWARD SMITH,

ADC #103093 PETITIONER

5:10CV00199JMM/JTK

RAY HOBBS RESPONDENT

ORDER

Plaintiff James Edward Smith has filed a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983

against defendants May, Golden, and Straughn, and also has filed an application to proceed in forma

pauperis (Doc. No. 1). However, after considering plaintiff’s complaint, in which he seeks

injunctive relief solely concerning the execution of his sentence by defendants, the Court finds the

complaint concerns the fact or length of his sentence.. Therefore, the Court finds that this case

should not be designated as a civil rights (555) action, but rather, as a habeas corpus petition, with

his present custodian, Ray Hobbs, named as the appropriate respondent. Accordingly, 

IT IS, THEREFORE ORDERED that the Clerk is directed to change the designation of this

case from 555 to 530, and to designate Ray Hobbs as the Respondent.1 

IT IS SO ORDERED this 26th day of July, 2010.
