Robert Jay Davis v. State

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ December 04, 2017 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A18A0237. ROBERT JAY DAVIS v. THE STATE. In September 2011, Robert Jay Davis pled guilty to several offenses, including aggravated stalking. As part of his sentence, Davis is permanently restrained from contacting the victims. Following his plea, Davis has filed multiple pleadings attempting to challenge the permanent restraining order. On appeal, this Court has repeatedly rejected Davis’s challenges. See Case Numbers A14D0453, A14A2326, A15D0345, A15A1670, A15A2297. Most recently, Davis filed a motion to vacate the allegedly void permanent restraining order. The trial court denied the motion, and Davis filed this appeal. As we have advised Davis previously, see Case No. A15A2297 (Order of September 28, 2015), the propriety of the restraining order is not subject to relitigation. “It is axiomatic that the same issue cannot be relitigated ad infinitum.” Echols v. State, 243 Ga. App. 775, 776 (534 SE2d 464) (2000); see also Jordan v. State, 253 Ga. App. 510, 511 (2) (559 SE2d 528) (2002). Our rulings in the prior cases before this Court act as res judicata. See Hook v. Bergen, 286 Ga. App. 258, 261 (1) (649 SE2d 313) (2007). Thus, Davis is barred from seeking further judicial review on this issue. See id.; see also Ross v. State, 310 Ga. App. 326, 328 (713 SE2d 438) (2011) (law of the case rule bars successive void sentence appeals). Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
