ORDER. The Court concludes that Petitioner's second and fourth grounds for relief are not cognizable in this habeas action. Those claims should be considered, if at all, in the context of a civil-rights complaint. Thus, the Court separates Petitioner's medical denial, overcrowding and unsanitary conditions claims from this habeas petition and directs the Clerk to open a new civil-rights complaint with Petitioners petition, Dkt. No. 1, as the originating document. The Clerk should file a copy of this order in the new case as well. (Ordered by Judge James Wesley Hendrix on 6/23/2026) (skh) (Entered: 06/23/2026)
