MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Kitchen v. Broussard, CASE NO. 1:20-cv-0155 JLT (PC) (E.D. Cal. 2020):
aspect of prison life" are properly brought as civil rights actions. Id. at 934. If success on a habeas petitioner's claim would not necessarily lead to his immediate or earlier release from confinement, the claim does not fall within "the core of habeas corpus" and thus, is not cognizable under 28 U.S.C. 2241. Id. at 935 (citing Skinner v. Switzer, 562 U.S. 521 (2012)).
