A. C. NEWLAND, Warden,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with an

application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On August 10, 2005,

petitioner sent a letter addressed to the Honorable Lawrence K. Karlton, who forwarded it to the

assigned district judge. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 72-302 pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).

The court’s records reveal that petitioner has previously filed an application for a

writ of habeas corpus attacking the conviction and sentence challenged in this case. The

previous application was filed on August 6, 1996, and was denied on the merits on October 6,

1998. Before petitioner can proceed with a new application for habeas relief he must move in the

United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for an order authorizing the district court to

consider the application. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3).
