Anthony J. Fails, Petitioner v. Julie L. Jones

Summary

The Court dismissed the inmate's habeas petition as unauthorized because his claims could have been raised at trial or on direct appeal. Based on his extensive history of frivolous filings and continued abuse of judicial resources, the Court imposed a filing restriction requiring counsel's signature for future filings concerning the specified criminal case. It also determined that the petition was frivolous and directed that the opinion be sent to the Department of Corrections.
