WARDEN SALINAS, RESPONDENT.
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and an application to proceed in forma pauperis.
Petitioner alleges that he is receiving inadequate medical care at the Deuel Vocation Institution. The purpose of a habeas corpus petition is to challenge the legality of a conviction or sentence.

By separate order, the court will direct the appropriate agency to collect the initial partial filing fee from petitioner's prison trust account and forward it to the Clerk of the Court.
