September 7, 2021 Filing 19 Copy re #18 Order Dismissing Case, 16 Order on Motion for Miscellaneous Relief 17 Order on Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim, mailed to Plaintiff on 9/7/2021. (Zamorski, Michael)
September 7, 2021 Filing 18 Judge Mark G. Mastroianni: ORDER entered. ORDER DISMISSING CASE(Zamorski, Michael)
September 7, 2021 Filing 17 Judge Mark G. Mastroianni: Electronic order entered granting #9 Motion to Dismiss. As Defendant argues, Plaintiff's claims are barred by claim preclusion, which is a form of res judicata. Plaintiff originally brought an action, based on the same underlying allegations, in 2018. (See 18-cv-11936.) The court dismissed Plaintiff's complaint without prejudice on September 9, 2019, for failing to allege adequate facts to state a plausible claim for relief. (See id., Dkt. No. 37.) Shortly thereafter, Plaintiff filed a second action, again based on the same underlying allegations. After holding an evidentiary hearing and denying Plaintiff's request for injunctive relief, the court dismissed Plaintiff's second action with prejudice for failing to allege adequate facts and because Plaintiff's claims were barred by the statute of limitations. (See 19-cv-30137, Dkt. No. 51.) Plaintiff appealed the dismissal of his second action, and on October 30, 2020, the First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed this court's dismissal order. (See id., Dkt. Nos. 61 and 62.) Because Plaintiff's second action was dismissed with prejudice, he cannot bring a new complaint based on the same allegations. See Airframe Sys., Inc. v. Raytheon Co., 601 F.3d 9, 14 (1st Cir. 2010) ("Claim preclusion applies if (1) the earlier suit resulted in a final judgment on the merits, (2) the causes of action in the earlier and later suits are sufficiently identical or related, and (3) the parties in the two suits are sufficiently identical or closely related."); see also id. ("Federal claim preclusion law bars parties from relitigating claims that could have been made in an earlier suit, not just claims that were actually made.") In addition, Plaintiff's latest complaint once again fails to allege adequate facts to state a plausible claim for relief. See Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009). Lastly, Plaintiff's claims, which are based on events that occurred in 2010 to 2012, are also barred by the statute of limitations. Plaintiff's complaint is therefore dismissed with prejudice. (Zamorski, Michael)
September 7, 2021 Filing 16 Judge Mark G. Mastroianni: Electronic order entered denying #11 and #13 Motions to Transfer. Plaintiff requests a transfer of this action from the Western Division to the Central Division, based on the allegation that the undersigned is racially biased. Plaintiff's allegation of racial bias is entirely unfounded and does not support his request for recusal or transfer to another division. The court notes that the ruling on the merits of the 2019 case handled by this court was affirmed by the First Circuit Court of Appeals. As to venue, under Local Rule 40.1, this action is appropriately assigned to the Western Division because the property at issue (where Plaintiff resides) is located in Springfield. See Local Rule 40.1(d)(1)(C). Moreover, Plaintiff has provided no good cause to transfer this case to another division. (Zamorski, Michael)
