IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

BILLY JACK KAIN PETITIONER

vs. Civil Case No. 5:06CV00046 HLJ

LARRY NORRIS, Director, 

Arkansas Department of Correction RESPONDENT

ORDER

Petitioner has submitted what the court has determined to be

a successive petition to his previously filed habeas cases, Kain v.

Norris, PB-C-95-520 (D.E.Ark. June 7, 1996). The Eighth Circuit

denied a certificate of appealability on September 5, 1996. Kain

v. Norris, No. 96-2862EAPB (Sept.5, 1996). The amendments to 28

U.S.C. §2254 that were signed into law April 26, 1996, prohibit

petitioners from filing successive petitions in the District Court

without authorization from the Circuit Court of Appeals. The

requirements that must be met to obtain authorization from the

Court of Appeals are found in 28 U.S.C. §2244(b), as amended. The

amendments are available in the unit law library, or by contacting

the Clerk, Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, Thomas F. Eagleton

Courthouse, 111 S. 10th Street, St. Louis, Mo. 63102, for more

information.
