CIV 15-02375-PHX-ROS (MHB)

ORDER

On May 3, 2016, Petitioner filed an pro se Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas

Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2254, raising various claims. (Doc. 11.) In response,

Respondents filed a Notice of Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction to Consider Petitioner’s

Second or Successive Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, claiming that Petitioner’s habeas

petition should be dismissed as successive, and that Petitioner has not obtained authorization

from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to file a successive petition. (Doc. 18.) In

Petitioners response, he claims that his previous habeas petition related to a different case

number in state court (“case # CR-110502"), than the case number of the conviction he

challenges in the instant habeas petition (“CR-125325"). (Doc. 21 at 2.) 

The Court, not having the documents before it to resolve Petitioner’s claim, will order

Respondents to file a reply to Petitioner’s response, addressing only the issue of whether

Petitioner’s instant habeas petition raises issues relating to a different case than his previous

habeas petition. 

Wherefore,
