IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DELBERT WILLIAMS, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-2302 LKK CMK P

vs.

Unknown,1

Respondent.

 / ORDER

Petitioner filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus on October 18, 2006. 

Petitioner attached to the petition is “exhibit 3,” which petitioner describes as “mystery meat”

and “mysterious MFG Lunch meats...” (Pet., Ex. 3.) Petitioner requests that the court send the

mystery meat for a laboratory determination. 

Petitioner is informed that there is no need for a lunch meat exhibit in a habeas

action. (See Badea v. Cox, 931 F.2d 573, 574 (9th Cir.1991) (habeas corpus petition is proper

method to challenge legality or duration of confinement, but civil rights action is proper method

of challenging conditions of confinement)). Further, the court is not a repository for maintaining

perishable exhibits, nor does the court send items for laboratory testing.
