August 20, 2019 Filing 17 Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered denying #15 Motion for Reconsideration, finding no persuasive grounds to alter the court's determination that plaintiff's instant habeas petition is barred by res judicata, as the alleged procedural defects in immigration proceedings - the subject of her prior habeas petition - is also the basis for plaintiff's challenge to her order of supervision (in effect, the order of final removal).

August 8, 2019 Filing 13 Judge Richard G. Stearns: ORDER entered. ORDER DISMISSING CASE. (Pacho, Arnold)
August 8, 2019 Filing 12 Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered granting #8 Motion to Dismiss. In her habeas corpus petition, petitioner Naomi Kinuthia alleges procedural defects in the asylum/witholding proceedings involving her husband and herself, in particular, that she was not afforded an opportunity to testify in her husband's asylum proceeding, nor on behalf of her own withholding petition. Petitioner seeks a stay of removal and a remand to the BIA for a hearing. Having previously challenged other alleged procedural defects in the same immigration proceedings and litigated the case to a final judgment on the merits, see Kinuthia v. Carr, No. 18-12325-DJC, Dkt. # 18 (D.Mass. Feb. 8, 2019) (Kinuthia I), this matter is barred by the principle of res judicata. The law disfavors the splitting of claims and bars "litigation of claims that arose from the same set of operative facts and could have been raised in the prior proceeding." Wolf v. Gruntal & Co., 45 F.3d 524, 527 (1st Cir. 1995) (emphasis in original). Further, as Judge Casper noted in Kinuthia, as petitioner is not being held in custody, a habeas petition is not the appropriate vehicle through which to seek the relief petitioner requested. Accordingly, the government's motion to dismiss is ALLOWED.(DT)

July 2, 2019 Filing 4 ELECTRONIC NOTICE of Case Reassignment. Judge Richard G. Stearns assigned to case. If the trial Judge issues an Order of Reference of any matter in this case to a Magistrate Judge, the matter will be transmitted to Magistrate Judge Jennifer C. Boal. (Danieli, Chris)
July 2, 2019 Filing 2 NOTICE of Case Assignment. Magistrate Judge Jennifer C. Boal assigned to case. Plaintiff's counsel, or defendant's counsel if this case was initiated by the filing of a Notice of Removal, are directed to the Notice and Procedures regarding Consent to Proceed before the Magistrate Judge which can be downloaded #here. These documents will be mailed to counsel not receiving notice electronically. Pursuant to General Order 09-3, until the Court receives for filing either a consent to the Magistrate Judge's jurisdiction or the reassignment of the case to a District Judge, the initial assignment of a civil case to the Magistrate Judge is a referral to the Magistrate Judge under 28 USC 636(b) for all pretrial non-dispositive matters and Report and Recommendations, but not for the Rule 16(b) scheduling conference.
