CIVIL ACTION

STATE OF ALABAMA OFFICIALS AND
EMPLOYEES, ET AL

NUMBER 12-641-BAJ-SCR

RULING ON MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
This matter is before the court on the petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration to
Strike Previous Judgment which shall be treated as a motion for new trial pursuant to Rule
59, Fed.R.Civ.P. Record document number 6.
Judgment was entered on October 11, 2012, dismissing the Petition For a Writ of
Habeas Corpus Under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
Petitioner moved to have the entry of judgment set aside on the grounds that he is
attacking his confinement in the Alabama Department of Corrections as a result of Alabama
officials falsifying paperwork and illegally confining him after kidnaping him.
Petitioner has failed to satisfy the prerequisites necessary to be relieved from
judgment.
Accordingly, the plaintiff’s motion for new trial pursuant to Rule 59(a) is denied.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, November 1, 2012.
