Broussard v. United States of America
Broussard v. United States of America
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA
Aaron Rhy Broussard, Case No. 22-cv-0893 (WMW/ECW) Petitioner, ORDER v. United States of America; Susan Richard Nelson; Terrence Olstad; Thomas M.
Hollenhorst; Melinda A. Williams; Charles J. Novats, Jr.; and U.S. Department of Justice, Respondents.
Before the Court are Petitioner Aaron Rhy Broussard’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging his pre-judgment detention, (Dkt. 1), application to proceed in forma pauperis, (Dkt. 2), motion for a temporary injunction, (Dkt. 5), and motion for a temporary restraining order, (Dkt. 6).
After careful review, the Court concludes that Broussard’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus is frivolous for the reasons explained more fully in Broussard v. United States, No. 21-CV-2484 (SRN/LIB), 2021 WL 5868719, at *1 (D. Minn. Nov. 18, 2021), and in Broussard v. United States, No. 22-CV-0889 (JRT/LIB), Dkt. 8 (D. Minn. Apr. 12, 2022). Accordingly, the Court summarily denies Broussard’s petition, see Rule 4, Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts,1 and denies as moot Broussard’s petition is not brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, but the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts may nevertheless be Broussard’s request to proceed in forma pauperis. The Court also denies Broussard’s motions for temporary injunctive relief. An appeal from this dismissal could not be taken in good faith, and Broussard will not be granted in forma pauperis status to pursue such an appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).
Based on the foregoing analysis and all the files, records and proceedings herein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: 1. Petitioner Aaron Rhy Broussard’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus, (Dkt. 1), is DENIED.
2. Petitioner Aaron Rhy Broussard’s application to proceed in forma pauperis, (Dkt. 2), is DENIED AS MOOT.
3. Petitioner Aaron Rhy Broussard’s motions for injunctive relief, (Dkts. 5, 6), are DENIED.
4. This action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
5. The Court certifies that an appeal from this dismissal could not be taken in good faith.
LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
