Since then, Petitioner has flooded this Court with new habeas petitions and various motions, all in an attempt to bring additional challenges involving his underlying convictions. As Petitioner has been informed on previous occasions, these additional claims and challenges will not be allowed. This case is proceeding solely on Petitioner's challenges to the parole board's denial. This is not an opportunity for Petitioner to relitigate the underlying convictions or open up for consideration any and every claim involving Petitioner's criminal history. Only those facts and arguments relevant to the parole board's decision will be considered. This means that as far as this Court is concerned, Petitioner's convictions are settled and final. Should he wish to challenge those convictions, he must do so in the proper venue, which in this case is the Central District of California. Further, he must abide by the Orders filed on July 19, 1988, in In the Matter of Ruchell Cinque Magee, CV-S-861299-MLS, CV-S-86-1394-EJG, CV-S-87-0149 LKK, CV-S-87-0382-LKK, CV-S-87-0450-EJG, CV-S-87-0482-LKK, CV-S-87-1412-EJG, CV-S-87-1543-RAR, CV-S-88-0030-LKK, CV-S-880586-MLS, CV-S-88-0656-LKK, and CV-S-88-0782-MLS, in which Petitioner was found to have abused the processes available to indigent litigants.
