Date Filed Document Text
December 16, 2022 Filing 9 EO: COURT ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION.Before the Court is Plaintiffs Motion for Reconsideration [ECF No. #8 ]. Plaintiff commenced this action on October 25, 2022, by signing her Initial Complaint Against Rustam A. Barbee for Ineffective Assistance of Counsel [ECF No. #1 ]. On November 20, 2022, the Court dismissed the Complaint and this action [ECF No. #6 ]. In dismissing this action, the Court explained that there is no remedy under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), for Plaintiff's claims because her defense counsel was not acting under color of federal law. Even assuming the existence of a Bivens remedy, the Court explained that Plaintiff's claims are barred by Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994), because she cannot show that her conviction or sentence has been previously invalidated. Nothing in Plaintiffs Motion undermines these conclusions. Plaintiff's Motion is therefore DENIED. (JUDGE LESLIE E.
