Date Filed Document Text
May 20, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 23 ORDER. Petitioner Novak's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus #1 is hereby DENIED without prejudice for the reasons stated in the attached Order. This court will consolidate this case with the identical habeas petition filed by Flynn himself in Flynn v. Whiting Forensic Hospital, No. 25-cv-636-SFR (D. Conn. filed Apr. 22, 2025). The court directs the Clerk of Court to designate 25-cv-636 as the lead case. In addition to any pending motion, the court also directs the Clerk of Court to move ECF Nos. 10, 13, 16, 17, and 20 to 25-cv-636.To the extent Ms. Novak seeks to pursue a habeas petition as Flynn's "next friend" instead of Flynn pursuing the petition himself, Ms. Novak may file an amended petition by June 9, 2025. Any amended petition filed by Ms. Novak must explain how she meets the requirements to proceed as Flynn's "next friend" under the legal standard set forth in the attached Order. If no amended petition is filed by June 9, 2025, the court will close this case. Signed by Judge Sarah F. Russell on 05/20/2025. (Jonas, Z)
