No. C 16-2301 CRB (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Petitioner, a state prisoner at the California Substance Abuse Treatment

Facility and State Prison, Corcoran, has filed a second or successive petition for a

writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging a 1993 sentence from

the Contra Costa County Superior Court. His first petition was dismissed as

untimely. See Muszynski v. Small, No. C 08-4244 CRB (PR) (N.D. Cal. Dec. 8,

2009) (order granting motion to dismiss petition as untimely under 28 U.S.C. §

2244(d)), aff’d, 225 F.3d 666 (9th Cir. 2000) (table; unpublished disposition).

A second or successive petition may not be filed in this court unless

petitioner first obtains from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth

Circuit an order authorizing this court to consider the petition. See 28 U.S.C. §

2244(b)(3)(A); see also McNabb v. Yates, 576 F.3d 1028, 1029 (9th Cir. 2009) (§

2244(b) applies where first petition was dismissed as untimely because such

dismissal constitutes disposition on merits). Petitioner has not obtained such an

order from the Ninth Circuit. The instant petition accordingly is DISMISSED

without prejudice to refiling if petitioner obtains the necessary order.
