Jimenez v. Bondi

The Supreme Court exercised jurisdiction over Petitioner’s all writs petition and denied it, holding that Petitioner, a prisoner under an active death warrant, was precluded from making new filings in the circuit court challenging his death sentence or warrant, or his convictions, without leave of this Court.Specifically, the Supreme Court held (1) the scheduling order in this case, both as issued and as amended, prohibited the filing of new claims in the circuit court after the deadline set forth in that order; (2) the issuance of a mandate in two postconviction appeals that ensued after the issuance of Petitioner’s death warrant did not render the scheduling order inoperable; (3) Petitioner’s challenge to this Court’s authority to issue or enforce death lines set forth in its post-warrant scheduling order was without merit.
