ORDER DENYING MOTION TO REOPEN
February 13, 2026
By Order dated November 26, 2024, the court denied David Carmine Lettieri’s Petition
for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 [Doc. No. 1] and dismissed the petition.
[Doc. No. 5]. The court denied Lettieri’s subsequent motion for reconsideration [Doc. No. 10], see
Order [[16]], and on October 7, 2025, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
affirmed. Judgment [Doc. No. 27].
On February 13, 2026, Lettieri filed a Motion to Reopen [Doc. No. 29] seeking to “reopen
to address [an] issue.” Id. at 1. He asks this court to address the “unusual circumstances” of his
conviction because it is “very clear [that] the right [to] relief [that] petitioner will seek will never
be granted by [the sentencing court].” Id. at 2.
As before, Petitioner is not entitled to relief. The Motion to Reopen [Doc. No. 29] is
DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
