No. C 10-00301 JF (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Petitioner, a state prisoner, filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging his state conviction. Petitioner has paid

the filing fee. Petitioner filed a previous petition for a writ of habeas corpus with

this Court, Case No. C 06-04194 JF (PR), which was denied on the merits on July 9,

2009. The instant petition is therefore the second filed by Petitioner challenging the

same conviction and sentence.

A district court must dismiss claims presented in a second or successive

habeas petition challenging the same conviction and sentence unless the claims

presented in the previous petition were denied for failure to exhaust. See 28 U.S.C.

§ 2244(b)(1); Babbitt v. Woodford, 177 F.3d 744, 745-46 (9th Cir. 1999). 

Additionally, a district court must dismiss any new claims raised in a successive

petition unless the petitioner received an order from the court of appeals authorizing

the district court to consider the petition. See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(2).

Here, the instant petition challenges the same sentence as the previous

petition and petitioner has not presented an order from the Ninth Circuit Court of

Appeals authorizing this Court to consider any new claims. See 28 U.S.C. §

2244(b)(3)(A). Petitioner’s first petition was adjudicated on the merits in this

Court’s order denying the petition on July 9, 2009. Accordingly, this Court must

dismiss the instant petition in its entirety.

The instant petition is DISMISSED as a second and successive petition

pursuant to § 2244 (b)(1). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
