JOHN ARMSTRONG, ET AL 1
Defendant : November 24, 2003 1
MOTION TO DISMISS
Pursuant to Rule 12 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and D.Conn. L. Civ. R. 7 the
defendants respectfully move to dismiss this matter. Plaintiff previously litigated in a state 1
habeas action the subject of this lawsuit. Caballero v. Warden, 2003 Conn. Super Lexis 5 p. 4, 5 1
(2003)(attached). Because plaintiff already litigated the recreation policy in a state court habeas 1
action, plaintiff s civil rights claims must be dismissed under the collateral estoppel doctrine.
Plaintiff also seeks, under supplemental jurisdiction to sue defendants for negligence. 1
Because a claim for negligence is barred under Connecticut General Statutes § 4-165, defendants 1
respectfully move to dismiss the supplemental negligence claims.
In further support of this motion, defendants submit the attached memorandum of law to
which the court is respectfully referred.
