Kelly-Lieras

BACKGROUND

The Initial Restraining Order On May 27, 2010, Kelly-Lieras filed an ex parte request for a domestic violence prevention restraining order, seeking to bar Lieras, her husband of 16 years, from contacting or coming within 100 yards of her, the couple’s two minor daughters, and Kelly-Lieras’s mother and grandmother, as well as their homes, vehicles, schools, and workplaces.

1 In support of her request, Kelly-Lieras alleged that eight days earlier Lieras had assaulted her in an incident she described as follows: “On May 19th at approximately 11 pm I was woken by [Lieras] punching me and yelling at me. He was screaming ‘I’m sick of this’ and continued to punch me. I stayed on my left side in the fetal position trying to protect myself. I got bruises on my left wrist, left hand, whole right arm including my shoulder, right jaw, and split my lip. The next day [Lieras] came home from work and told me I am lucky he held back. Next time he won’t, I better change or else and that he will not hold back when it comes to that fat bitch Margaret and fat bitch Claudia. I will let them have it if you got me you got me [sic]. Claudia is my mother and Margaret is my grandmother. . . .…
