No. C 15-0958 JSW (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Petitioner, a California prisoner, filed this pro se petition for a writ of habeas

corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner claims that he overpaid his filing fee in a prior

civil rights case in this court.

Petitioner’s claims are not the proper subject of a habeas action because do not

implicate the fact or duration of his confinement. See Skinner v. Switzer, 131 S. Ct.

1289, 1293 (2011); Hill v. McDonough, 547 U.S. 573, 579 (2006); Moran v. Sondalle,

218 F.3d 647, 650-52 (7th Cir. 2000); Badea v. Cox, 931 F.2d 573, 574 (9th Cir. 1991);

Crawford v. Bell, 599 F.2d 890, 891-92 & n.1 (9th Cir. 1979). Accordingly, this case is

DISMISSED without prejudice. Petitioner’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis is

GRANTED.

in which the petition is decided. No reasonable jurist would find this Court's denial of

his claim on procedural grounds debatable or wrong. See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S.

473, 484 (2000). Consequently, no certificate of appealability is warranted in this case.

The Clerk shall close the file and enter judgment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
