229. The fifth motion for review was declared inadmissible by the Court of Criminal Cassation of the Third Judicial Circuit of Alajuela, Second Section, in decision No. 2009-00225 of June 12, 2009. 325 Mr. Mora again argued that the proceeding “contemptuously disregarded” his right to a second judicial hearing by encouraging him to challenge the decision through a cassation appeal and he requested the repeal of Law No. 8503 (Opening of Criminal Cassation) of 2006. In response, the Court of Criminal Cassation declared the reason manifestly unfounded for expressing disagreement with the Costa Rican appeals system and inadmissible because the same claim had been filed and decided previously in review proceedings. 326 230. Separately from the aforementioned criminal proceeding, on May 23, 2005, Mr. Mora filed a petition for amparo before the Constitutional Chamber, requesting the annulment of three criminal convictions against him, including the one under study (para. 344), alleging that the right established in Article 8(2)(h) of the Convention and in the judgment in the case of Herrera Ulloa v. Costa Rica 327 had been violated. In decision No. 2005-06480 of May 31, 2005, the Chamber “flatly rejected” the motion for amparo because it was not its responsibility to supplement the criminal jurisdiction. 328 231. In addition, Mr. Mora filed a writ of habeas corpus on December 28, 2005, “arguing that [he] was unlawfully deprived of liberty,” 329 because he had not received a full review of his conviction. 330 In decision No. 2006-000052 of January 6, 2006, the Constitutional Chamber rejected his appeal, considering that “the problem raised by the appellant has already been extensively analyzed by his Chamber, which has considered that the principle of double instance is satisfied with the special appeal in cassation,” for which it cited and transcribed the content of various rulings. 331 C. Regarding the CAI La Reforma 232. The Centro de Atención Integral (CAI) (Integral Care Center) La Reforma 332 (now called Jorge Arturo Montero Castro) is a prison facility located in the district of San Rafael, in the province of Alajuela.

Cf. Ombudsman’s Office, Report with Recommendations, February 22, 2011 (evidence file, folio 43324). 333 In its answering brief, the State explained that the prison Areas are the units A to F, the Area of Industrial Workshops, and the so-called “Post Seven.” According to the State, in 2001, Area A and Area B were combined to form a single unit called Area B; however, in 2013 the unit was divided once again. This was not disputed by the parties. Cf. Answering brief of the State (merits file, folios 1487). 325 73
