ORDER
G.R. SMITH, Magistrate Judge.
Bruce Bernard Townsend has filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion challenging this Court's revocation of his supervised release. CR498-106, doc. 807.1 After the government moved to dismiss, the Court directed further briefing. Doc. 835. But the Court also paused to note Townsend's "Judicial Notice" filing, where he complained that prison officials have discriminated against him by failing to provide him with a diet that conforms to his religious beliefs. Doc. 829. The Court denied that "Notice" as frivolous. Doc. 835 at 2 n. 3.
Now Townsend moves for "Judgment on § 2255" on the same religious-discrimination claim. Doc. 836. The motion is DENIED as frivolous. Townsend obviously doesn't want to incur the $350 filing fee expense of filing a separate civil case to redress his religious-discrimination claim. So, he's resorted to trying to slip it in here, an action which costs him nothing.
He is wasting this Court's time. He will be sanctioned if he continues to do so (among other things, the Court can advise that his § 2255 motion be dismissed with prejudice as a contempt sanction).
SO ORDERED.
