Jackson v. Lillard

Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

RONALD JERMAINE JACKSON,

Petitioner,

v. Case No. 3:25-CV-01127-NJR

T. LILLARD,

Respondent.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

ROSENSTENGEL, Chief Judge: Before the Court is a Petition for habeas corpus filed by Ronald Jermaine Jackson pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (Doc. 1). Jackson has presented the claims he raises here to every judge in this district. Not surprisingly, this strategy has been a losing one as his claims have been rejected every time. See Jackson v. Lillard, No. 3:24-CV-2687-NJR (S.D. Ill. Apr. 29, 2025); Jackson v. Lillard, 3:25-cv-00542-DWD (S.D. Ill. Apr. 10, 2025); Jackson v. Lillard, No. 24-cv-1690-NJR (S.D. Ill. Oct. 24, 2024); Jackson v. Lillard, No. 24-cv-1539-JPG (S.D. Ill. June 20, 2024); Jackson v. Lillard, No. 24-cv-1225-SMY (S.D. Ill. May 6, 2024). Undeterred, Jackson continues to press the same oft-rejected claims, notwithstanding this Court’s explicit warning that he stop this dead end pursuit. See Jackson v. Lillard, No. 3:24- CV-2687-NJR, 2025 WL 1234150, at *3 (S.D. Ill. Apr. 29, 2025). The undersigned Chief District Judge has warned Jackson that further frivolous filings will result in sanctions. Id. At least one other judge in this district has already sanctioned Jackson due to the “frivolity” of his filings. See Jackson, 3:25-cv-00542-DWD, at Doc. 9 (imposing $200 sanction). The undersigned has further warned Jackson that “any future habeas corpus petition filed by [him] will be deemed rejected, without the need for judicial action, 30 days after its filing, unless the court orders otherwise.” Jackson, 2025 WL 1234150, at *3. The Court has reviewed Jackson’s instant petition and determined that it raises nothing new. Thus, consistent with the Court’s prior admonition, Jackson’s instant petition (Doc. 1) is DENIED with prejudice. The Clerk’s Office is DIRECTED to enter judgment and close the case. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: July 7, 2025 Tl wefhontig! NANCY J. ROSENSTENGEL | Chief U.S. District Judge
