*80 ORDER AND JUDGMENT **

Defendant-Appellant Richard Valdez, an inmate appearing pro se, appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint without prejudice. Mr. Valdez sought declaratory, injunctive, and monetary relief against a variety of state, local and federal officials challenging his conviction, sentence, and conditions of confinement. Though Mr. Valdez argues on appeal that the district court never addressed the merits of his claims, we affirm for substantially the same reasons given by the district court. 1 The invalidity or improper execution of a sentence is addressed through a habeas petition. 28 U.S.C. §§ 2241, 2254; see Preiser v. Rodriguez, 411 U.S. 475, 487, 500, 93 S.Ct. 1827, 36 L.Ed.2d 439 (1973). Additionally, the claims for relief under § 1983 lack sufficient focus and detail to transform them into claims for relief.

AFFIRMED. All pending requests ..and motions are denied including the motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Mr. Valdez must immediately pay the unpaid balance due on the appellate filing fee.
