UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

 SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

SOILA BANUELOS, 

Defendant. 

Case No. 14-cr-2323-L 

 

ORDER DISMISSING MOTION 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND WITH 

LEAVE TO AMEND 

 

Petitioner Soila Banuelos, proceeding pro se, has filed a Motion for Authorization 

to File a Second or Successive Motion to Vacate, Set Aside or Correct Sentence under 28 

U.S.C. § 2255. 

Petitioner has not previously filed a Motion pursuant to section 2255 before this 

filing, therefore the current Petition is more properly characterized as a Motion under 28 

U.S.C. §2255. Even so, Petitioner fails to allege any facts supporting her allegation that 

she suffered ineffective assistance of counsel. While this Court is mandated to construe 

pro se pleadings liberally, it is impossible to discern the grounds for Petitioner’s Motion. 

See United States v. Seesing, 234 F.3d 456 (9th Cir. 2000).

along with a copy of this Order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
