Levesque v. State of New Hampshire

Doc. 2

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE Andre R. Levesque v. State of New Hampshire, et al. ORDER Andre Levesque has filed a pleading entitled "Habeas Corpus Petition" in the above-captioned case. Upon review of the Civil No. 09-cv-437-JL

pleading, I find that Levesque seeks immediate release from incarceration. The pleading, therefore, is more appropriately See Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S.

considered a new habeas action.

477, 481 (1994) (federal habeas petition is the appropriate means to challenge the actual fact or duration of confinement). Accordingly, I direct the Clerk's office not to docket it in the above-captioned case, but instead to treat it as a new habeas action.

SO ORDERED. ____________________________________ Joseph N. Laplante United States District Judge Date: cc: July 1, 2010 Andre R. Levesque, pro se Corey M. Belobrow, Esq. Martin P. Honigberg, Esq. Nancy J. Smith, Esq.
