-againstORDER
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Respondent.
JED S. RAKOFF, U.S.D.J.
Before the Court

is Carl

Hall's

latest petition

for

post-

conviction relief. This Court previously denied Hall's first such
application on January 23, 2013, see ECF No. 20, and later denied
several subsequent motions as second or successive petitions, see
ECF Nos. 29, 34. Hall has now filed another motion challenging his
sentence. On October 2, 2018, the Honorable Henry B. Pitman, United
States

Magistrate

Judge,

issued

a

Report

("R&R")

recommending that Hall's latest motion again be denied as

a successive application under 28 U.S.C.
Order dated October 19, 2018,

§

and

2255.

Recommendation

ECF No.

37.

By

this Court extended Hall's time to

file objections. Those objections have now been received and will
be docketed with this Order. Having reviewed the underlying record
de novo, and considered Hall's objections, the Court is in complete
agreement

with Judge

Pitman's

thorough analysis

Report and Recommendation in its entirety.

and adopts his

Hall objects that Judge Pitman erred in treating his motion
as one under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, rather than as a motion for a writ
of audita querela.

The writ of audita querela may lie where no

other post-conviction remedy exists and where the absence of such
a

remedy gives

rise

States v. Richter,

to

serious

constitutional

510 F.3d 103, 104

concerns.

(2d Cir. 2007)

United

(per curiam).

Hall appears to argue that the remedy of audita querela should be
available to him because he could not bring a § 2255 motion to
challenge his conviction under Booker v. United
220

(2005),

as

Booker

is

not

retroactive.

States~

But

as

543 U.S.

Judge

Pitman

noted, Hall has already received Booker resentencing and thus could
not

raise

any

denominated.

even

arguably meritorious

See R&R 2-3.

Booker

claim,

however

Nor may Hall resort to audita querela

simply because his claims would all be untimely or procedurally
barred if raised under§ 2255. Cf. United States v. Valdez-Pacheco,
237 F.3d 1077, 1080 (9th Cir. 2001)

("A prisoner may not circumvent

valid congressional limitations on collateral attacks by asserting
that

those very

limitations create a

gap

in the postconviction

remedies that must be filled by the common law writs.").
Regardless of his choice of caption,

Hal 1 plainly seeks to

relitigate the same issues he has previously and unsuccessfully
raised to challenge his sentence. Judge Pitman therefore properly
evaluated his motion as one arising under § 2255. Having done so,
it is clear that Hall cannot meet the standard to file a successive

petition without permission from the Court of Appeals. Hall points
to no evidence whatsoever that might suggest he is not guilty, see
28

U.S.C

§

2255(h) (1),

constitutional

nor has

he

identified any "new

rule

of

law" promulgated by the Supreme Court that might

invalidate his sentence, see 28 U.S.C.
For the foregoing

reasons,

§

2255 (h) (2).

the Court denies Hall's motion.

The Court further certifies that any appeal from this Order would
not be taken in good faith,

as Hall's claim lacks any arguable

basis in law or fact, and therefore permission to proceed in forma
pauperis is denied. 28 U.S.C.
is

d1 rected

to

close

a 11

§

1915(a) (3). The Clerk of the Court

open

entries

on

both

the

c1 vi l

and

criminal dockets.
