September 2, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 19 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS - It is respectfully recommended that the Petition be dismissed without prejudice for failure to plead a claim cognizable in habeas corpus with sufficient clarity to distinguish it from the claims Landrum has made in In re Ohio Lethal Injection Protocol Litig. Landrum is granted leave to move to file an amended petition not later than September 15, 2015. Should Landrum move to amend, he must restate his position on why this would not be a second or successive petition. This Court has previously allowed new lethal injection habeas petitions to avoid the second or successive bar on the basis that they were raising new claims which could not previously have been pled, based on the adoption of new lethal injection pro tocols by the State. But the Court questions whether that rationale can support a habeas claim that any lethal injection execution would be unconstitutional since lethal injection has been an available method of execution in Ohio since before Landrum filed his initial Petition and became the exclusive method while his Petition was pending. Objections to R&R due by 9/21/2015. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz on 9/2/2015. (kpf)
