HUGH G. CROWLEY, Plaintiff-Appellant,

v. JUSTIN JONES, Director, Defendant-Appellee. No. 08-6078 (D.C. No. 5:07-CV-01393-D) (W.D. Okla.)

ORDER AND JUDGMENT *

Before LUCERO , TYMKOVICH , and HOLMES , Circuit Judges.
In December 2007, Oklahoma state prisoner Hugh G. Crowley brought suit in federal district court under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging violations of his constitutional rights in the course of a prison disciplinary proceeding for possession of contraband. The district court, taking judicial notice that Crowley had filed a complaint alleging essentially the same claims in 2001 and that this1 Because this motion was filed more than 10 days after the district court’s order dismissing the complaint, it did not toll the time to appeal that order. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4)(A)(vi). - 2 - complaint was dismissed with prejudice, found that his claims were barred by res judicata. Accordingly, the court dismissed the complaint on January 24, 2008. Crowley did not file a notice of appeal within 30 days as required by Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(1)(A). Instead, he filed a series of motions in the district court, including (1) a motion seeking a writ of mandamus directing the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (“OSBI”) to release documents related to his disciplinary proceeding, (2) a motion “based upon newly discovered evidence,” which the court construed as a motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b), 1 (3) a motion for discovery seeking the same documents from OSBI, and (4) what appears to be a motion for summary judgment. The court denied the first three motions in an order on March 14 and the last in an order on March 24. On April 4, Crowley filed his notice of appeal. Because only the March 14 and March 24 orders were issued within the 30 days prior to Crowley filing his notice of appeal, we have jurisdiction only to the extent he appeals from those orders. See Bowles v. Russell , 127 S. Ct. 2360, 2366 (2007); Manco v. Werholtz , 528 F.3d 760, 761-62 (10th Cir. 2008). For substantially the same reasons as the district court, we summarily AFFIRM the denial of each of the four motions identified above. We DENY Crowley’s “Motion to Supplement Petition to Confirm [sic] to Evidence,” because this- 3 - motion seeks to obtain and introduce evidence relevant only to the merits of his original complaint, which we need not reach. The motion to proceed on appeal without prepayment of fees is GRANTED. Appellant is reminded of his continuing obligation to make partial payments until the filing fee is paid in full.
