William Charles Graham v. T. Lillard

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

WILLIAM CHARLES GRAHAM, No. 22097-041,

Petitioner, Case No. 25-cv-01813-JPG v.

T. LILLARD,

Respondent.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER This case is before the Court on Petitioner William Charles Graham’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Doc. 1). Graham’s claims have been repeatedly rejected as frivolous by courts in this district. Chief Judge Nancy J. Rosenstengel has warned Graham that, as a sanction, future repetitive habeas corpus petitions will be deemed rejected, without the need for judicial action, 30 days after the petition is filed unless the court orders otherwise. Graham v. Lillard, No. 25-cv-00158-NJR, 2025 WL 1938564, at *3 (S.D. Ill. July 14, 2025) (citing Alexander v. United States, 121 F.3d 312, 315 (7th Cir. 1997)). The Court has reviewed Graham’s instant petition and has determined that it raises no argument cognizable in a § 2241 petition. Thus, consistent with the Court’s prior admonition, the Court DENIES Graham’s instant petition (Doc. 1) and DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to enter judgment accordingly.

IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: October 27, 2025
