CITY OF TALLAHASSEE, et al., Defendants.
Mr. Rolle has been a frequent litigator in this District and the Northern District of Florida, filing repeated civil rights actions pursuant to § 1983 against judges, prosecutors, appointed and privately retained attorneys, probation officers, and the City of Tallahassee, related to his 2002 state court conviction and subsequent probation violation proceedings. His claims have been repeatedly dismissed as frivolous. See e.g., Rolle v. Glenn, No. 4:17-cv-134-MW-CAS, (N.D. Fla. March 31, 2017), aff'd, 2017 WL 4708166 (11th Cir. 2017); Rolle v. Glenn, No. 5:15-cv-190-Oc-39PRL (M.D. Fla. January 27, 2017), Rolle v. Raysor, No. 5:15-cv-180-Oc-30PRL (M.D. Fla. Apr. 14, 2015); Rolle v. Maceluch, No. 5:15-cv-191-Oc-30PRL (M.D. Fla. Apr. 21, 2015); Rolle v. U.S. Marshals Serv., No. 5:15-cv-192-Oc22PRL (M.D. Fla. July 20, 2015); Rolle v. Edwards, No. 5:15-cv-202-Oc-30PRL (M.D. Fla. Apr. 24, 2015); Rolle v. Raysor, No. 5:15-cv-268-Oc-30PRL (M.D. Fla. June 3, 2015); Rolle v. Edwards, No. 5:15-cv-271- Oc-34PRL (M.D. Fla. July 22, 2015); Rolle v. Maceluch et al, No. 5:15-cv-285-MMH-PRL (October 8, 2015), Rolle v. Bruce, No. 5:15-cv-320-Oc-22PRL (M.D. Fla. July 24, 2015), Rolle v. City of Tallahassee, et al., No. 5:15-cv-462-JSM-PRL (September 14, 2015); Rolle v. Dilmore, et al, No. 4:14-cv-339-RH-CAS (N.D. Fla. July 23, 2014).
In this case, Plaintiff again challenges his 2002 conviction and post-conviction proceedings. He attempts to allege constitutional claims against state court judges James Hankinson, Richard Hood, and Thomas Bateman; privately retained counsel, Lilja Dandelake and David Collins; and assistant state attorneys Owen McCaul and John Maceluch. These exact claims have previously been dismissed with prejudice by this Court and the Northern District as barred by the statute of limitations and res judicata; and because Plaintiff could not state a claim. See e.g., Rolle v. Tallahassee Police Dept. et al, No. 4:16-425-RH-GRJ (N.D. Fla. May 3, 2017) (dismissing claims against Owen McCaul, John Maceluch, and James Hankinson); Rolle v. Maceluch, et al., No. 5:15cv285-Oc-34PRL (M.D. Fla. July 10, 2015) (dismissing claims against John Maceluch and James Hankinson); Rolle v. Maceluch, et al., No. 5:15-cv-191-Oc-30PRL (M.D. Fla. April 21, 2015) (dismissing claims against John Maceluch and James Hankinson); Rolle v. Raysor, et al., No. 5:15-cv-180-Oc-30PRL (M.D. Fla. April 14, 2015) (dismissing claims against Lilja Dandelake, John Maceluch, Richard Hood, David Collins, and Thomas Bateman); Rolle v. Raysor, No. 4:07-cv285-RH/WCS, 2007 WL 2698316 (N.D. Fla. Sept. 12, 2007), aff'd 267 F. App'x 925 (11th Cir. 2008) (dismissing claims against Lilja Dandelake, Judge Richard Hood, Judge Bateman, and John Maceluch). Accordingly, Plaintiff's claims here are likewise barred.
Plaintiff's attempt to add constitutional claims against Judges James Wolf, Scott Makar, and Stephanie Ray based on their denial of his writ of habeas corpus is simply without merit. As this Court has explained ad nauseam, judges are absolutely immune from civil liability for their judicial acts. See e.g., Wahl v. McIver, 773 F.2d 1169, 1172 (11th Cir. 1985). Moreover, there is no basis to hold the City of Tallahassee liable for the actions taken by the judges. See e.g., Rolle v. City of Tallahassee, No. 5:15-cv-462-Oc-30PRL (M.D. Fla. September 14, 2015) (dismissing as frivolous claim that City violated his constitutional rights because trial court denied motion to correct illegal sentence).
