ORDER OF DISMISSAL; GRANTING

LEAVE TO PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS

(Docket No. 2)

Petitioner, a California prisoner incarcerated at Salinas Valley State Prison, filed the

above-titled petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging a

conviction obtained in the Monterey County Superior Court in 2002. Prior to filing the instant

petition, petitioner filed another petition in this district challenging the same conviction. See

Sanchez v. Evans, No. 05-1634 MMC (PR). That petition was dismissed because it failed to

state a claim upon which relief could be granted. 

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

petitioner first obtains from the United States Court of Appeals an order authorizing the

district court to consider the petition. See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A). Petitioner has not

sought or obtained from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit an order

under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A), authorizing him to file a second or successive petition in the

district court. Accordingly, the instant petition is DISMISSED without prejudice to refiling if
