Concluding that Plaintiff’s 19 claims regarding his conditions of confinement were not cognizable in habeas, the Court issued 20 findings and recommendations to dismiss Plaintiff’s operative petition. (ECF No. 7). After Plaintiff filed objections requesting that his petition be converted to a 42 U.S.C. 21 § 1983 civil rights action, the Court vacated its findings and recommendations, converted the case 22 to a § 1983 action, and directed Plaintiff to complete an in forma pauperis application or pay the 23 civil filing fee. (ECF No. 9). On July 19, 2023, Plaintiff paid the filing fee. 24 Given that Plaintiff has thus far presented his claims on the habeas petition form, the 25 Court will direct him to complete the appropriate § 1983 civil rights form, which solicits 26 information pertinent to how the Court will construe this case going forward. 27 Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED as follows: 28 1 1.
