July 27, 2021 Filing 5 CLOSED JUDGMENT. FINAL JUDGMENT PURSUANT TO FED. R. CIV. PRO. 58 - The Court having this day made its Entry directing the entry of final judgment, the Court now enters FINAL JUDGMENT. The action is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

July 27, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 4 Order Dismissing Motion to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence and Denying a Certificate of Appealability - Petitioner Sherman Emerson seeks relief from his conviction in No. 1:04-cr-00201-SEB-TAB-6. He does so after having previously challenged his conviction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2255 in No. 1:09- cv-00061-SEB-TAB. That action was decided on the merits and dismissed with prejudice. See id. dkt. 28, 29. Because the current 2255 motion is successive to Emerson's previous motion and that motion was denied on the merits, the current motion must be summarily dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. The Seventh Circuit has explained: ***SEE ORDER FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION***This action is therefore dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Judgment consistent with this Entry shall now issue and a copy of this Entry shall be docketed in No. 1:04-cr-00201-SEB-TAB-6. The motion to vacate (Crim. Dkt. 165) shall also be terminated in the underlying criminal action. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 22(b), Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing 2255 proceedings, and 28 U.S.C. 2253(c), the Court finds that Emerson has failed to show that reasonable jurists would find it "debatable whether [this Court] was correct in its procedural ruling." Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). The Court therefore denies a certificate of appealability. (Copy to Plaintiff via U.S. mail) Signed by Judge Sarah Evans Barker on 7/27/2021.(JDC)
