ORDER. The Court concludes that Petitioner's first ground for relief is not cognizable in this habeas action. This claim should be considered, if at all, in the context of a civil-rights complaint. Thus, the Court separates Petitioner's medical-denial claim from this habeas petition and directs the Clerk to open a new civil-rights complaint with Petitioner's attachment titled "Deposition... in Support", Dkt. No. 1-1, as the originating document. If Petitioner wishes to pursue his medical-denial claim, he must file a complete amended complaint on the form used by the Court for prisoner civil-rights complaints in the new civil action. If Petitioner does not wish to pursue this claim, he may file a notice of voluntary dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41.
