Woodham v. NH, State of et al

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
Grace Woodham
v.
State of New Hampshire, et al
Case No. 20-cv-537-PB
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Petitioner Grace Woodham has filed three motions for summary
judgment (Doc. Nos. 3, 6, 7). Ms. Woodham’s habeas petition (Doc. No.
1) has not yet been preliminarily reviewed and the respondent has not
yet been directed to answer. Accordingly, Ms. Woodham’s motions for
summary judgment should be denied as premature, without prejudice to
her ability to refile those motions after the respondent has been
directed to answer the petition. The court will construe the
assertions in Document Nos. 3, 6, and 7 as addenda to the petition for
purposes of conducting preliminary review in this case pursuant to
Rule 4 of the Rules Governing § 2254 Proceedings.
Any objections to this Report and Recommendation must be filed
within fourteen days of receipt of this notice. See Fed. R. Civ. P.
72(b)(2). Failure to file specific written objections to the Report
and Recommendation within the specified time waives the right to
appeal the district court’s order. See Santos-Santos v. Torres-
