Brian Smith, th e Superintendent of Putnamville Correctional Facility is the proper sole respondent in this action. The clerk shall update the docket accordingly, and terminate any other respondents. The petitioner's motion to proceed in forma pauperis [dkt. 2] is denied as moot because he paid the filing fee.

The clerk shall open a new civil action using the same petition, with the nature of suit code 530 and cause of action 28:2254, to address the petitioner's challenge to the disciplinary proceeding for case number BTC 14-09-0262, for which petit ioner was charged with disorderly conduct on September 14, 2014. The first two grounds asserted by the petitioner shall be treated as a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence to support the conviction.
