In Hackett-Addison v. Harrington, Judge Corley dismissed the civil-rights case with prejudice after Hackett-Addison failed to amend the complaint.
Plaintiff Amilliyon R. Hackett-Addison, whose civil-rights case was dismissed with prejudice; the case was closed as to the defendants.
What happened
In Amilliyon R. Hackett-Addison v. Harrington, et al., the court had previously dismissed the civil-rights complaint because it did not present a legally recognized claim. The court gave Hackett-Addison 28 days to file an amended complaint and warned that the case would be dismissed if he did not do so.
Hackett-Addison did not file an amended complaint, ask for more time, or explain why he had not done so. The court therefore dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning the case was ended and the same claims could not be refiled in that action.
Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley ordered the clerk to enter judgment and close the file.

Background
On August 4, 2025, Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim screened Amilliyon R. Hackett-Addison's civil-rights complaint and dismissed it for failure to present a cognizable claim, meaning a claim the court could legally consider. The court gave Hackett-Addison 28 days to file an amended complaint and warned that the case would be dismissed if he did not do so.
The case was later reassigned to District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley. Hackett-Addison did not file an amended complaint, request an extension of time, or show cause—give a reason acceptable to the court—for failing to do so.
Ruling
Judge Corley dismissed the case with prejudice. The clerk was ordered to enter judgment and close the file.
