ORDER
 
Gregory Jessie
–Bey brought this case in March 2023, alleging that his 
state court criminal case in the 1990s was tainted by a corrupt judge, a 
deficient public defender, and the State's failure to properly oversee the judicial 
proceedings. Dkt. 1; dkt. 14 (amended complaint). The Court screened and 
dismissed Mr. Jessie–Bey's claims in August 2023 as barred by the statute of 
limitations. Dkt. 16; dkt. 17 (final judgment). 
In April 2026, Mr. Jessie–Bey filed a 44-page motion for relief from 
judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b), alleging judicial 
misconduct; concealed, unaddressed, and legally significant evidence; 
fraudulent concealment; void judgment; and equitable tolling. Dkt. 33. PageID #:

Because Mr. Jessie–Bey filed his Rule 60(b) motion nearly three years 
after the entry of judgment, it is untimely. Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(c)(1). Motions 
under Rule 60(b)(1)–(3) must be filed "no more than a year after the entry of 
judgment," and motions under Rule 60(b)(4)–(6) "must be made within a 
reasonable time." Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(c)(1). Since Mr. Jessie–Bey waited years to 
file his motion, it does not satisfy Rule 60(c)'s timeliness standard and is 
therefore DENIED. Dkt. [33]; Braun v. Village of Palatine, 56 F.4th 542, 554 
(7th Cir. 2022) ("Braun's motion, coming fifteen months after the dismissal 
order, was hardly filed 'within a reasonable time.'"); Kathrein v. City of 
Evanston, Ill., 752 F.3d 680, 689 (7th Cir. 2014). 
This case remains closed and the Court does not anticipate further 
filings under this cause number. 
SO ORDERED.
