Jones v. Federal Reserve Legacy Treasury Direct

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK RAFAEL A. JONES, Petitioner, 25-CV-235 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL FEDERAL RESERVE LEGACY TREASURY UNDER

28 U.S.C. § 1651

DIRECT, Respondent. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: In a November 6, 2023 order in Jones v. McCormack, No. 23-CV-8296 (LTS) (S.D.N.Y), the Court barred Petitioner “from filing future habeas corpus petitions challenging his ongoing criminal proceedings, arising from a September 14, 2021 arrest, [in forma pauperis (“IFP”)] in this court without first obtaining from the court leave to file.” (No. 23-CV-8296, 13, at 1-2.) Petitioner files this new pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus under

28 U.S.C. § 2241

arising from his September 14, 2021 arrest, seeks IFP status, and has not sought leave from the court. The Court therefore denies the petition and dismisses this action without prejudice for Petitioner’s failure to comply with the November 6, 2023 order in Jones, No. 23- CV-8296 (LTS). Because Petitioner makes no substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability will not issue. See

28 U.S.C. § 2253

. The Court certifies, pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(a)(3), that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith and, therefore, IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States,

369 U.S. 438, 444-45

(1962). The Court directs the Clerk of Court to: (1) terminate all pending motions; and (2) enter a judgment dismissing this action for the reason set forth in this order. SO ORDERED. Dated: April 22, 2025 New York, New York
