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. § 1651DIRECT, 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. § 2241arising 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
