UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MICHAEL I BROWN-SEALS,

Petitioner, 

v. 

JAQUEZ FRANCISCO, 

Respondent. 

Case No. 16-cv-04763-PJH 

ORDER GRANTING LEAVE TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AND 

FOR PETITIONER TO SHOW CAUSE 

Re: Dkt. No. 3 

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. He also applied for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Petitioner challenges a 2005 conviction from the Lake County Superior Court. However, 

court records indicate that petitioner already filed a habeas petition in this court 

challenging the same conviction. See Seals v. Jaquez, Case No. 10-cv-3707-PJH. 

Petitioner’s case was dismissed with prejudice as barred by the statute of limitations and 

was affirmed by the Ninth Circuit. This appears to be a successive petition. 

 “A claim presented in a second or successive habeas corpus application under 

section 2254 that was not presented in a prior application shall be dismissed . . .” 28 

U.S.C. § 2244(b)(2). This is the case unless, 

 (A) the applicant shows that the claim relies on a new 

rule of constitutional law, made retroactive to cases on 

collateral review by the Supreme Court, that was previously 

unavailable; or 

 (B) (i) the factual predicate for the claim could not have 

been discovered previously through the exercise of due 

diligence; and 

 (ii) the facts underlying the claim, if proven and viewed 

in light of the evidence as a whole, would be sufficient to
