UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY CRAIG HUCKABEE,

Petitioner,

v.

R. FISHER, JR.,

Respondent.

No. 2:16-cv-0308 CKD P

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding with counsel, has filed an application for a writ of 

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, along with a motion to proceed in forma pauperis.

The court’s records reveal that petitioner has previously filed an application for a writ of 

habeas corpus attacking the conviction and sentence challenged in this case. Huckabee v. Adams, 

Case No. 2:01-cv-1795 DFL CMK (E.D. Cal.). The previous application was filed on July 5, 

2001, and was denied on the merits on August 10, 2006. Before petitioner can proceed with the 

instant application, he must move in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for 

an order authorizing the district court to consider the application. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3). 

Therefore, petitioner’s application must be dismissed without prejudice to its refiling upon 

obtaining authorization from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
